ADHD only defines how you process the inputs and outputs of life’s experience. What defines you is what you take an interest in, what you do for a living, what hobbies you take up, what people you spend time with, what you contribute to the world, and what the world gives back. All of that together is the package called you. But there’s no way to perceive any of it outside of ADHD since that is your lens.
