I swear it’s either that or having no empathy, had a prof that listed it as a “incurable medical disease”

Why do they treat us like toddlers? “OooOooo shiny sparkly 🤩🥺😋” No. I can’t function and life is miserable

Some of the most ableist ppl are ppl who think that they are helping neurodivergent ppl but receive no input from neurodivergent ppl themselves ✌️

Also like, what is the workshop even gonna be? General study tips that most people have heard already just rehashed? Nothing helped in any substantial way until I was medicated and I don’t think it’s their intention but it just comes off like, if they have this one adhd workshop than they don’t have to consider accoms for students with it because “we already gave you resources” or whatever. Maybe just trauma from my own college experience.

I find occasionally comments or shiny jokes funny, but this is just demeaning. Way over the line 😭

“Ooh shiny object I’m so distracted” ok not to be an annoying Autist but ADHD is notoriously the “I can’t focus on anything no matter how hard I try, I have a 24/7 running internal dialogue, I can’t start tasks, and I get upset over tiny things” disorder so I truly don’t understand why it’s become this “cutesy” thing

Jokes on them I read nothing other than the big shiny letters and nothing about their stupid ass workshop

It’s not helping 😭

The shiny is only funny when we say it about ourselves (or maybe as someone with it to someone else with it in a light-hearted way if you’re really close and the situation permits it)

I’d have to light this one on fire I think
