Focus Friday: The ADHD Justice Chip
How to Work With It (Not Against It)
Welcome back to another Focus Friday, Amplify Wellness Community!
If you’ve ever found yourself absolutely spinning out over something that seems “small” to others but feels like a deep and urgent moral wrong to you, you might be familiar with the ADHD justice chip.�
You might not find this in a diagnostic manual (yet), but many ADHDers report this highly attuned, nearly visceral sensitivity to fairness, injustice, hypocrisy, or unequal treatment. That hyperawareness, sometimes described as “righteous rage,” often stems from a mix of lived experience, executive functioning differences, and emotional intensity.
As someone with ADHD and a Libra rising (hi, that’s me 👋🏼), I sometimes joke that I’m constitutionally wired to spiral when things feel unjust. As a deeply novice astrology learner, I’ve found Libra placements can bring a desire for harmony, equity, and balance.
But when paired with ADHD? Woof.
That deep yearning for fairness can become an internal siren that goes off at full blast. Whether it’s a friend who ghosts us, a team member who doesn’t pull their weight, or an unfair policy at work, it can make collaboration difficult. It can make existing in groups hard. It can make asking for support feel unsafe. It can make letting things go feel nearly impossible.
