Neurotypicals completely unable to grasp or be at all empathetic to how a neurodevelopmental condition might affect a person’s ability to process information or thrive easily in a very unusual & stressful situation… you people can’t do anything

Having a suicide rate 5x higher than that of the average person and 10x for those in their 20s.
Oh go on though. Tell us how easy and nonsense ADHD is.
Deadly 😂😂
Symptoms of ADHD:
•Being easily distracted by external stimuli or random thoughts
•Making careless mistakes in school, work, or daily activities
•Struggling to follow detailed instructions or finish tasks and chores
•Frequently losing items needed for daily life (keys, wallets, phones, glasses)
•Avoiding or disliking tasks that require long periods of mental effort
•Being forgetful in daily routines or missing appointments
Mate we have all got ADHD by this definition- big deal

I recently read about a woman who died by suicide while waiting for an ADHD diagnosis. She told her GP that her ADHD symptoms were worsening, her anxiety was rising, her life was falling apart. And it ended up killing her.
Ever since, I've had zero time for ADHD 'discourse'.

The moment people with ADHD are offered a benefit, suddenly everyone thinks it's a money making scheme. Why is it so difficult to accept that some people genuinely need support?

I honestly can't wrap my head around people who have zero empathy. Like, how do you not pause for even one second and picture how it would feel if someone did the exact same thing to you?

Most people don’t understand ADHD. ADHD can be deadly & very disabling.
Neurodivergence is a new meaningless bashing word.
The comments illustrate the ignorance even in the ADHD community.
Why did I bother going into the comments…
ADHD is a disability. Access to a disabled railcard is reasonable.
If you’re not sure why an ADHD person may benefit from this, take some time to research the reasons why ADHD is considered a disability.

Society: “an ADHD diagnosis after 30 is a waste.”
Me: There is a kind of healing that can come with a deep knowing that your struggle is real. That you are believed and validated. That you are worthy enough to be seen for exactly who you are.

Nope. You have to actually have it in order to be diagnosed. They aren’t just giving it out, symptoms must be disabling to meet criteria. It’s funny though that now women are finally getting support and diagnosed it’s an ‘over-diagnosis’ problem. Harmful statement and not helpful
ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says report, with author due to speak to BBC bbc.in/3VBz5jE
