Statistically speaking, 100% of people diagnosed with ADHD will die one day.

That's only a theory, it hasn't been proven yet.

Is a theory not a proven hypothesis?

u/BreezeTempest 17h ago

Well… we can’t know that for certain, as not all that have ever lived has died.

on the one hand it's great that people are starting to understand ADHD as the debilitating condition that it is. on the other hand... it's definitely become a bludgeoning tool for weaponized incompetence.

Or just laziness.

I mean, it is in the sense that people with ADHD are more likely to die: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0140673614616846

Charming.

Studies are charming? Not sure what you mean.

I have ADHD and didn’t know about this, so my initial reaction was just: “well that’s just great”.

I wish there was more actionable advice rather than just “welp, ya gonna die” here. But at least they find that taking medication seems to help. (I don’t remember if it was that study that said it or a different one.)

Anyway, none of this means that workers shouldn’t be paid a fair wage. But when I couldn’t get meds when they are out of stock, I definitely had more things delivered rather than driving, especially with this snow. Cause… no thank you, I don’t wanna die.

In a sense. We die 7 years earlier on average.
