I head up a small community for fans of a niche indie brand. The founder is doing an event in Japan with an exclusive item for people who attend! I was so excited and was looking into booking a plane ticket to go!

However… turns out that Japan has a law that absolutely forbids stimulant medication in the country. And, no, I don’t really want to upend my regimen of 8 years and risk going on a new medication for the trip.

I’m really shattered, as I wanted to attend this cool event and meet up with other enthusiasts. It really hurts to be barred from an opportunity like this.

I hate ADHD. I really do.

      There are many better words you could use. Insular, isolationist, xenophobic. Not to mention that I’ve never once heard Japan’s culture described as “autistic”

        They’re making it up. Which is why they can assert “they” say it but then calls folks dumb for not being able to find it.

        They also will provide no proof.

        It’s a mental gymnastics floor routine.

              Aww come on, tell me more about how Japan the country is autistic! I bet you’ve got all sorts of exciting takes. Maybe Poland is a kleptomaniac, just spitballing!
