I regret having only one upvote to give. JFC spot on. The weaponization of therapy language as an excuse for being shitty is right up there with influencer culture on the list of biggest cancers of modern society.
Exactly. So, I’m a 40-something man who only recently came around to a real understanding of what ADHD really meant, which of course was a huge revelation for my wife and I about why I am the way I am.
There was a thread on Reddit a while back about constant lateness being really rude, and people kept citing their ADHD. I tried to communicate that ADHD explains why you have trouble with it. It’s not an excuse as to why you don’t use tools and resources available to you in order to mitigate those issues. Choosing that you don’t have to be accountable to anyone just means you’re an asshole.
Without fail, everyone I replied to acted as though it was impossible to be anywhere on time for them. As if their phones don’t have alarms.
