        Anxiety is an emotion or experience that anyone can feel, it is not the same as anxiety disorder.

        ADHD and Autism are neural divergences which means that these are people that are literally born with a different brain behavior then most. It means that they are how they are.

      I’m completely out of the loop as to how they’re referred, so I’m just taking a guess at why the meme calls them mental illnesses:

      I think it’s likely because they’re things that require diagnosis and can require treatment
