If you do a combination of these things, you might be AI. Then again, you might just have ADHD...

Just in case someone doesn't know, LLM in this case means "Large Language Model", which is just the technical term for things like ChatGPT.
Okay, so adhd meme ha ha funny whatever, serious question, it's as much a struggle for neurotypical people close to with adhd as it is for the afflicted themselves.
How does one bridge this gap? A neurotypical response is essentially "get the right meds and figure yourself out". But the neurodivergent response always seems to be "no. We make memes about it instead" like that's some kind of appropriate answer. I say this with some level of tounge-in-cheek, but it's what I've experienced. I have someone in my life who is medicated for adhd, but only has a mild positive response due to them. It's very difficult to support them when the outward appearance is they are unwilling to help themselves, even though I understand that it's not an unwillingness as much as an inability.
This is only your perspective and not true for most of us, even in the slightest. Medicine only works to a certain extent. MUCH more work has to be done by the person themselves than just taking a pill. Sometimes it compounds with a habitual issue that needs to be corrwcted. For example with timers to let an ADHDer know when it's time to stop doing something mundane and do something more important or a Todo list that's featured prominently somewhere.
Brains are something that isn't fully understood by anyone yet and medical professionals are always researching how to manipulate the brain to behave in a "normal" way that society accepts. And that's just the thing, it's also a societal issue. Just because society tells us we should behave in a certain, narrow way, doesn't mean that way is comfortable or works for everyone. Matter of fact, I'd say a LOT of times, there needs to be more compassion, understanding, and compromises made by those without ADHD as to at least slightly compromise on certain situations. That way both parties could come to some sort of agreement that works for all of those involved.
Though if someone is refusing diagnosis altogether because "LUL ADHDMEMES" and it's affecting their lives and yours by proxy, it's an issue with that person and they need to seek some help.
