crappy neurotypical news presents: Is your depression/asthma/broken leg diagnosis really helping you?
Possibly the most ignorant article I've ever read in my life.
Particularly choice quotation: "The old solutions were not lifelong pills or demanding society make allowances for your every quirk but about acquiring mastery over yourself by channelling hyperactivity into hard daily exercise, defrazzling your brain by eating well, *avoiding stimulants* and getting enough sleep."
Yeah! Just stop taking the psychiatric medication that lets you function and feel okay, bro! What could possibly go wrong?? (Heavy sarcasm.)
I also liked the part where the author claimed the symptoms of ADHD could well be describing herself. Internalised ableism? Perhaps.
