> it's a serious dysfunction and it's sad to see that it's being romanticized lately in social media or plainly discredited by some people/media

The author of the article is contributing to this by using their medical diagnosis to "outsmart" the system for writing material. Presenting a proper ADHD assessment as merely an online test just adds fuel to the fire (and if this is the only interaction they had I am skeptical of the assessment procedure).

That's an unfair and sweeping characterization of the immediate therapeutic benefits and long-term health outcomes of individuals.
