TikTok is NOT the Place to go to Learn About ADHD.

ADHD is difficult to properly diagnose.

Appealing to ADHD, has become a popular explanation/justification for why a
kid has trouble with self-control, behaving.

About 1/2 of the most popular videos about ADHD on tkTok, offer wrong
information about the condition.

(By the way, "self-control" is a virtue that Christians are exhorted to
develop.)

TikTok causes all kinds of mental problems in general among young people. After coming to understand it better, I think the early Trump and Biden-era push to have it banned was the correct one. It isn't that different from plopping your kid in front of a One Armed Bandit in terms of its potential for addiction, only this one subjects young people to many negative consequences as part of its reward mechanism.

In China, Bite Dance isn't allowed to post anything on TikTok except educational videos and general news information. They don't allow the kind of vice-filled social dynamics and gossip that are routine on the American platform.
