The thing that separates a disorder from a normal issue is the magnitude and/or frequency of occurrence. E.G. most people that currently have a uterus will get cramps on their period, but if they're actively in pain instead of just uncomfortable something is probably wrong

Yeah that kinda makes me worried about myself tho lol

Well if you have cramps that are painful go see a doctor. If you are talking about having ADHD, just go with the flow and enjoy the memes. If you can connect with them then do so. If after a while you feel like you relate too much you can look up more about the condition and get an assessment.

Nonetheless, just vibe and enjoy the memes.

That is a bad example because many women are actively in pain with cramps and have seen a doctor about it but have been told they're just unlucky.

...You can have doctors saying that you‘re just lazy or it‘s something totally different if you bring up ADHD. It‘s exactly why I used that analogy.
