D.A.V.E
a better name for ADHD.
ADHD is short for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Even if that's the correct medical name, it leads to a misunderstanding of the disorder / neurodivergency.
DAVE is short for dopamine attention variability executive dysfunction.
Dave is a more suitable acronym because
-not all individuals with ADHD are hyperactive
-the cause of ADHD is a variability of dopamine release that causes problems with regulation of all sorts of things like emotional regulation
-people with ADHD are not only lacking attention and have short attention spans, they also often enter a state of hyperfocus
-the dopamine variability also leads to executive function issues

psychologist: You are not lazy, sloppy and stupid, even though it may seems like so. In fact are you highly intelligent and incredibly hard-working. I would suggest you to get tested for D.A.V.E . It's an neurodevelopmental disorder. The things that you were thought as bad personally traits of yours are probably not your fault and there are ways to get support (therapy, medication or an understanding community).
"I'am really trying but please understand that it is harder for me than it is for others because I have DAVE and may need extra time and/or support."

D.A.V.E.
DAVE(DD) is an alternative acronym for the neurological disorder commonly referred to as ADHD or ADD. It is a better and more accurate description of what the disorder is, which can hopefully help foster better understanding and support systems for people with ADHD.
ADHD stands for:
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
DAVEDD stands for:
Dopamine/Attention Variability & Executive-Dysfunction Disorder
DAVE stands for :
Dopamine/Attention Variability & Executive-dysfunction disorder
When compared to the acronym "ADHD," "DAVEDD" better describes the how the neurological disorder affects the brain of individuals with it; which allows them to better accommodate individuals with the disorder.
(DAVEDD) does this by stating the root causes of the symptoms instead of just the symptoms.

Teacher: "Hey, friend; I've noticed that you've been having some difficulty with your writing assignment..."
Student: "Yeah, I have D.A.V.E.,which stands for Dopamine/Attention Variability & Executive-dysfunction disorder. To put it simply, my brain cant regulate its dopamine levels well, so, If something doesn't give me dopamine, my brain could not care less about that thing in that moment. Writing is especially hard, though, because you don't get the dopamine until you've finished writing something; making it neigh impossible to write about anything that doesn't interest you.
Teacher: "Oh, okay. Would It help you If we instead had a discussion about the book, and I grade you based on how well-developed your ideas and interpretations are. That way, you needn't write anything down, but I can still make sure that you're cognizant of the subtext"
