        Idk, the fact a comment like that sits positive, IN AN ADHD COMMUNITY, kinda makes me feel unwelcome in my own diagnosis. Like, is this place just going to be another place to be talked down to? Another place where we’re told to “toughen up” or “quit making excuses to be lazy”? Not sure I see the point in subscribing to that.

          There’s shitty people in the fediverse like the rest of the world and we can’t stop randos from voting. Rest assured we don’t tolerate ableist idiots like the above comment and that poster has since been banned.

      The funny thing is that ADHD people actually hate when people say that their ADHD is an superpower because it’s a total bullshit that neurotypicals love to say.

      The only people who have ever told me I should treat being disabled like it gives me superpowers have been neurotypical and able bodied. We don’t like it.

            And share our supposed “superpower” of…being oblivious to social cues. Great superpower. Glad we are all so FUCKING thrilled to accidentally upset people. I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop and OP That shitlicker BakedGoods, NOT MARTINESK, insinuates that there is nothing wrong with us and we just need to get some exercise. Or whatever the boomers think fixes mental issues. Jesus? Idk.

              Yeah, like I’m so glad I’ve wrecked friendships over not doing something I didn’t know I was supposed to do and made absolutely no sense after I was told about it. Such a superpower.

              Why tf everyone assumes that those things are “superpowers”, wtf?

              OP insinuates that there is nothing wrong with us

              I never said any of that stuff. You’re just making stuff up right now.
