      I really hate this tendency of the internet to pathologize every single human quirk.

      Have you ever forgotten someone’s name quickly after you met them? omg you probably have ADHD!

        The thing you’re ignoring, is it if happens everytime, that’s the problem.

        Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean people are “pathlogizing” it. Maybe you are just missing something. Like the frequency….?

          This was very defensive for a comment that was not directed at you. I’m 100% sure you know yourself best and whatever diagnosis has been helpful to you is probably real.

            Pardon? You’re the one that’s trivializing people with a disability. You don’t seem to comprehend how damaging that can be to people.

            You’re mocking disabled people, this shouldn’t need to be explained how that makes you a terrible person. And the person doing so isn’t defensive, you’re apparently just easily offended getting called out offending disabled people lmfao.

            Of course having these issues are normal, what isn’t is the frequency and how it affects your daily life.

            Be a better person.

              My comment was very clearly not about people with disabilies and you’re working really hard to misunderstand it for reasons I can’t really guess. Something to do with you.

                You are mocking something that are useful tools for people who may not know they are indicative of actual potential issues?

                Your comment very clearly is, you just don’t realize that you’re a terrible person. It’s like pointing out that a racist is being racist. It just doesn’t work.

                It’s no different than those PSAs like, do you snore, you may have OSA. How would the person know something was wrong otherwise or know to ask?

      An adhd makes it so everything else is a struggle.

      If you piss it’s normal, but if you piss 40 times a day it’s time to see someone.

        That’s neat and all. Do you think that stress taking up mental and physical bandwidth is unique to ADHD sufferers?

          If it’s affecting your life, it’s time to see a doctor.

          It’s not about the “bandwidth” and you’re being totally ignorant of the issues neurodivergent people suffers.

          It’s the more the tank is constantly on 10% because of various issues, while a normal person can recharge from various “things” to top up.

          It’s not normal to be constantly fatigued and frustrated, if you think THAT is, get some help.

              What just because you want to belittle people with a disability and someone is explaining something they’re suddenly “unhinged”?

              Or maybe, you just have a shit take.
