I might be a person with ADHD in a ADHD community but that doesn't mean that I need to view everything through that lens. ADHD explains many things in my life but not all things. It might be a sensory issue for some but I'm talking about myself here. Me disagreeing with a meme is not an attack on your identity.

It’s not a sensory issue - I just like wearing socks.

This part feels like you talking about yourself, and everyone agrees.

Not everything needs to be pathologized.

People are taking this as an assertion that sock preference should not be pathologized and cannot be related to ADHD.

Clearly not what you meant, but the phrasing you used is ambiguous enough to not differentiate between "not everything about myself is pathologized" vs "please stop pathologizing everything"
