I hate that everyone thinks they have ADHD just because they procrastinate

I mean I’d rather be tiktokified than shunned but man i do dislike the fact that they treat adhd more like a cute quirk rather than something that actually inhibits my schoolwork as well as my life in general😭 Like dawg im not just a little bit distractible i have sensory sensitivities, audio processing issues, MASSIVE executive functioning issues, focus issues, issues with just not really fitting into capitalism that well (but frankly who really does).

Literally all of this. People abuse neurodivergent-specific vocabulary (and therapy terms too) until they just lose their meaning ☹️

And STOP ABUSING OUR MEDS SO THEY PUT UP A BUNCH MORE BARRIERS AND STIGMA TO GETTING THEM!!!! That one really pisses me off cause they make it so we’re always questioned about being fucking addicts. I’ve not experienced it myself but I’ve heard stories and I do not enjoy constant suspicion. Luckily nonstimulants work better for me so it isn’t personally as much of an issue though.

Same. My disabilities have destroyed my body and my ability to function normally in society, to see people turn that into a joke is so annoying
