Trying to support my friend without guessing stuff
My best buddy just found out he might have ADHD and he’s been joking about it but I can tell it bothers him. I don’t want to give bad advice or say something clueless. Do you know a solid resource that lays out what ADHD is in simple terms so I can actually be helpful

Dude, good on you for wanting to get it right. My roommate got diagnosed at 28 and kept making jokes to deflect while clearly spiraling about all the "what ifs."
Thing is, ADHD isn't about being hyper or lazy - it's literally how his brain processes stuff. Like he'd forget our plans 10 minutes after we made them, or hyperfocus on random projects for 12 hours straight then crash.
This page breaks it down without the medical jargon: find an adhd specialist near me - covers symptoms, treatment, the whole deal.
Honestly? Just being there and not treating him differently means everything. Let him process it his way.
