For reference, I was diagnosed when I was 13 so I’m not slandering a different group of people. Other may have different experiences with it, but it is ultimately a disfunction that you’re stuck with permanently and can only be treated and not cured. It’s a curse.

One of my friends claims to have ADHD because she has trouble paying attention to certain things. Can’t talk to her without her bringing it up and she uses it as a scapegoat to ignore responsibilities, or deny responsibility when she makes a mistake. I frequently hear he say “Oh I’m just ADHD” and laugh about it. Idk if she’s even been diagnosed, but it makes me sick.

I see tik toks all the time about “A day in the life with ADHD” and its just some person doing makeup or promoting their brand or exaggeratively making ticks, noises, or fidgeting.

The use of the phrase: “ADHD is a gift” is one of the most deplorable fucking things in existence and I don’t know where it comes from or why.

Don’t be like this.
