If someone can play video games for hours straight, doesn't that logically prove they don't have ADHD?
Get this thrown at me constantly, 'you can't have ADHD, you play games for six hours straight no problem.' Genuinely want to understand if this is actually a logical contradiction of an ADHD diagnosis or if there's something about it people are misunderstanding.

Get this one weekly basically. Now I just explain the interest-based attention thing directly, most people actually get it once it's explained rather than left as an assumed contradiction, they just hadn't heard the actual mechanism before.
