Me too. And when people say “I’m so OCD” or “I’m a little OCD” when they are just a clean and organized person.

ughhh yeah. like bitch it isn’t occasional cutesy perfectionism, it’s scrubbing our hands until they bleed. it’s apologizing over and over until we start using things to make ourselves bleed. it’s being forced to relive trauma in our heads in a trancelike state. it’s being so terrified of doing something wrong when we don’t even know what the consequences would be.

WHAT. And my teaching diverse learners professor said that ADHD is a form of autism on the other end of the spectrum from Asperger’s. Where did these people get degrees???

just a simple google search will tell you it is not oml💀 also my fav thing (strong sarcasm) is when people say *I’M* so ocd, like yes you are so obsessive compulsive disorder. If you’re not going to use the disorder correctly at least use the right grammar for it. 😭
