    I hate this mentality. I know plenty of ADHD folks for whom this isn’t true. I see this repeated often. If you’re able to respond well in a crisis, how do you know it’s because of your ADHD? I see no reason to think that it’s because of a disability. It just bothers me when people make my very real and very debilitating disability sound like something fun and quirky.

      it’s a disability yes, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the parts of it that make us simply differently abled. We can’t be “normal” so might as well love the way we’re “weird”. i’m not going through life feeling sorry for myself
