20,000 more ways of being treated poorly

It's even worse when someone thinks they know what it is and they just say: "It means you lack attention span". Like bruh! That's not even the tip of the ice burg or even close to accurate. I tried eduating my folks with literal interviews with medical peeps like a herbalist (because my folks trust em) and a strapped experienced psychologist but it didn't work. 🤧 It's crazy how some people overestimate their knowledge because they vaguely remembered something somewhere and expect themselves to be experts after.

Too many people think they know enough to make a judgement on something. I am lucky I don't have to carry as heavy of a burden with ADHD as other people do. It is horrible. It's frightening. Its chaotic. In terms of educating others, we have to continue to be our own advocates. In my opinion, that begins advocating within our own species...educating others who suffer with neurodivergent symptoms. Too many of us don't even understand that which makes us struggle.

Oh damn! You also have ADHD 🤯? I've been trying to educate myself first since my nurse mom always told me it was just attention span like modern influences and pop culture make it seem. I found different sources like Dr. K from Healthy Gamer who's a MD or some rank related to psychology who makes non-judgemental, interviews with people who have ADHD (like streamers and such) and videos of symptoms. He gives some advice on how to manage it too. There's also Psych2Go... because the lady narrators voice is super soothing and comforting and she give breakdowns and some other content. There's also some cool songs by Holderness Family Music which I love listening since I have those symptoms and it's really comforting to know some of the things I hate about myself are actually from my ADHD. The music is also pretty good. Also, thanks for posting this. It's really sweet of you.

Absolute peak reply to my essay.

You said it all 😉

Oh dang. I didn't think of it that way 🤣

I am starting highschool soon and I have both ADHD and autism. I think that the world would be so much better if we would just accept and love eachother for our differences instead of hating someone because of something they can't control

I agree with you. I know school can be difficult. I had the worst time with family. It takes courage and the ability to pick true friends. Here is one of my favorites....imgflip.com/gif/9qxpqv

Thank you.
