How do you feel about and handle people who call ADHD a disease/sickness?

More accurate than calling it a superpower. I hate that crap.
It's a disorder, something that makes daily life more difficult. Yes it can be treated, but never cured (thus far).
Parkinson's is a disease of the mind, and it often garners pity and sympathy. ADHD is treated as an "excuse" for bad behavior, since it's invisible (save for behavior that is undesirable).
More than anything, how ADHD is seen by the ignorant majority is why it has any stigma at all.
