1. ADHD is one of the only examples of this, since most issues aren't considered to be innate in the same way. It's still debatable to what degree ADHD is innate
2. every thought, memory, and emotion is brain wiring. People who have certain patterns of thinking and feeling have certain patterns of brain function or physiology. Your claim is that all of these deviations from average are innate and organic in origin, but there isn't proof of that. In fact there is correlation between certain conditions and childhood environmental factors, giving credibility to the opposite, that many conditions are environmental/developmental.
3. we live in a particular society that contains unique and particular conditions. For any given innate neurotype, they might happen to either thrive or have difficulties under a given society. There is no guarantee of a society in which all neurotypes are equally adaptive. What's wrong with noticing deficits in functioning or well being and happiness and attempting to administer fixes at the only currently possible level - individual - while we still work to change society? And what if we actually need these fixes in order to be adaptive enough (have the energy, emotional stability, time, etc.) to change society? Even just to survive most people have chemical crutches, e.g. caffeine to wake up, nicotine for work, alcohol to relax.

So my question is: what advantage is it to frame things in this way? I think it's juvenile ultra-left critique of society that doesn't care about how we achieve liberation or even day to day survival, and only concerns itself with the purity of its critique. But also it's just flawed, the brain wiring is a correlation, it's not a one way causative factor, the brain is plastic especially developmentally but even as an adult.

It only seems that way due to having a wall of text disagreeing with the current cultural over-sympathy for neurocognitive disorders
