      It’s fine if people come in to learn about it though, right? I think a lot of people like myself can’t get diagnosed for various reasons, or maybe they just have a loved one who has ADHD. I think it’s better to say that if you’re going to be ableist about it, you can keep your mouth shut.

        Because they are attributing some of the clearest examples of how the condition impacts people to a ‘growing up tax’.

            Doesn’t mean they do either. This post appears on the all feed. Why would you assume they do with that view?

              Because everyone experiences things differently, your experiences aren’t representative of the group as a whole. Neither are his, or mine. Making assumptions like that does nothing positive for anyone.

                What a load of shite.

                Nothing to suggest they have ADHD or that it should be assumed by default.

                I said ‘If’, not ‘You don’t’

                What an inane comment to raise, really.

                  You’re gatekeeping so hard it’s hard to believe you’re diagnosed with ADHD. Community pooper.

                    Not gatekeeping at all, they didnt try and enter the gate.

                    You however, are lucky your patter is atrocious.

                    And if they had said they had ADHD and I had denied it you maybe would’ve had a point.
