      I don’t know much about how ADHD interacts with metaphor enjoyment)

      It doesn't, it just makes us read wikipedia lists of metaphors until 4AM

      That makes sense, it could totally be a great metaphor for people with control disorders.

      I don't know much about X-Men media but I think most can control their powers like most superheros. But I know there are some storylines about trying to keep control as well

      I think the X-Men were originally also meant to represent the persecution of racial minorities and that really didn't make sense to me. Makes more sense as a metaphor for neurodivergance for sure!
