>> I never had an issue with ADHD growing up in Asia. Nobody friggin cares. It's only western people making a huge deal outta nothing.

Interesting, I thought that Asian countries are the most hostile countries towards neurodivergent people.

Good point. stereotypical but can't disregard it as there are people who do make a fuss about it.

Not black or white thus can't or can dis/agree with you on this.

I only shared my own person opinion there.

I've no experience living in Asian countries but asian cultures seem to be workaholic / ambitious and obedient. At least in South Korea many children's childhoods are ruined by insane educational pressure, lack of recovery time and sleep. In Korean culture, a child's success is directly linked to the family's social status. And I can only imagine the level of suffering among those children, let alone neurodivergent ones.

Japan seems to have a similar problem, although a less extreme version.
