I prefer to approach ADHD as a “difference” rather than as a “disability,” but health insurance rules and tax laws seem to reflect the typical pathology-based perspective. So, until that changes, we need to work within
the rules and laws as we find them.
IRS Publication
502 states, “Medical care expenses must be primarily to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental disability or illness. They don’t include expenses that are merely beneficial to general health, such as vitamins or a vacation.” ADHD coaching, unlike regular life coaching, seems to be increasingly accepted as a "medical care
expense."
