My little brother was diagnoses with ADHD when he was a child. He’s a classic, unmanaged ADHD, school to prison pipeline, employment difficulty, black male case. Always struggled in school, challenging behaviour, the whole lot. He took medication for a while but eventually had to quit. Part of why I think he got diagnosed so early was because my parents were white, and they wouldn’t stand for being blamed for his behaviour by anyone.
