In reference to the awful /r/ADHD subreddit which is the most anti-ADHD place online I have ever seen I would like to know if this place will follow their horrible example or actually allow neurodivergent people with ADHD to consider it a home?

Based on this from the sidebar it seems positive and I look forward to interacting with you all.

Hey guys. This is a safe place which so far has required zero mod actions. Feel free to post about anything ADHD related. I don't mind what words you want to use or if you self diagnose. Some no-no's: Don't tell others what meds they should take. But feel free to discuss your own meds. No suicide threats, we won't do as good a job here as your local help line, and if you're at that point, you need more help than an open forum.

Try keep it positive but thats not a rule just encouragement.
