Why do the categories have to be mutually exclusive? ADHD is a neurodivergent condition that can cause disability.

I like the way the second article addresses how we shouldn't force ADHD people to conform to neurotypical standards in the classroom.
However, in a world where survival is based on being able to get enough money to get housing and food, and the said acquisition of this money depends on performing in a world that is built for neurotypicals, you bet your ass that ADHD is a disability.
ADHD is a disability. Only people with no familiarity with it would claim it doesn't impair our ability to function in society.
Right but the question is whether or not that is inherent to ADHD, or inherent to how we've designed society. The latter is something that could in theory be fixed.
I'm pretty sure I'm disabled.
