I think overdiagnosis was really difficult to tackle and how situational ADHD can be. And I think it's that like ADHD is always there, but it does express itself differently and different. And I'm saying situational instead of environmental because I think environmental gets confusing, but like situation or environment that you're in.

I think that was the hardest one for me to tackle because I think A lot of things have changed in the world in the last 100 or 200 years, and I don't think our brains have fully adapted.

Yeah. And I think it's almost the advantages, disadvantages, conversation or deficits and positive sides. Strengths. Yeah. And strengths. Thank you. Conversation becomes such a black and white conversations and things can coexist. Yeah. You know, like there can be situations in which it's advantageous and situations in which it's a deficit. Yeah.
