This is wrong and a lack of empathy that doesn't recognize differences.

I know people who have those labels (ADHD, but also autism) and they can be very good at what they're doing. The problems arise when other people don't understand them or put them in a work position where they can't shine. I know a girl at work who's autistic and she's super good analysing and structuring things. Some like to be in control and have autonomy and they are natural leaders and very efficient. Of course, one does well to be aware of weaknesses. The same applies to those that seek harmony and peace in all things, which sounds good, but they are prone to avoid conflict and then don't engage or can't handle feedback.

Different people, different strengths..
