It’s a double edged sword. I was diagnosed ADHD as an adult and I’m on meds and have been in therapy for years so that I’m not a pain in the ass for coworkers and loved ones. (Or at least I try) But I work with one bitch who self diagnosed off TikTok and she is the bane of my existence. She says it so that people have to put up with her piss poor behaviour because ✨adhd ✨ And we live in Europe so she could get a diagnosis if she wanted to. But she dead up refuses. Who knows why? Probably because she has zero intentions of changing anything about herself. Never mind that there are about 5 of us somewhere on the spectrum in work but she’s the only one who talks about it that much and the only one refusing to look into an actual diagnosis or treatment. She fucking does my nut in too because she’s so loud and always fucking taking. I can’t even hear my own thoughts in my head when she’s nearby. Even other colleges wear headphones to try to filter out the constant racket that is this wench. But yes. I would have liked to have been diagnosed and helped earlier. But that doesn’t mean imposing radical acceptance of absolutely everything on everyone. Kids still need to learn that we don’t live in a consequence free world. Adaptations can be made. But life isn’t consequence free. But also not ABA therapy because that sounds awful. Though I do 100% understand why certain people would need to at least understand a bit of it for dealing with cops for example. (Sorry this tangent got away from me)
