ADHDgender is a neurogender identity in which one's gender is influenced by their ADHD to a point that they two can not be unlinked. For example, lack of attentiveness can affect the focus on gender identity and experience. This term is exclusively for neurodivergent people with ADHD.

Common Definitions

A neurogender concerning ones affected by ADHD, whether formally diagnosed of the condition or not. ADHDgender is not ADHD as a gender, but rather is a gender so heavily influenced by ADHD that one's gender and ADHD cannot be unlinked.

–Oog22, 2020[2]

A gender that cannot be extricated from one’s ADD/ADHD. The gender can be heavily affected or part of one’s ADD/ADHD, but is not ADHD as a gender itself. They are however very interlinked. Exclusive to those with ADHD/ADD.
