I had an entire draft of Chapter 3 (?) written using the onion analogy. Then I decided, comparing the built-up layers of negative feedback and negative mindsets among some pwADHD to a smelly root vegetable would not be a good idea. (Personally, I love onions.) So, I went with deconstructing the roller coaster. Great idea, anyway, Jeff. What's that saying from AA circles: "You're only as sick as your secrets?" In the face-to-face adult discussion groups, I love actually seeing the looks of relief as attendees hear others airing issues that they'd thought were their own little (big) quirks. Very liberating. g hahaha.
