Why does it seem like ADHD is the new Autism self-diagnosis? I've met a lot of people lately who have self-diagnosed themselves with ADHD.
Bcz people don't actually understand that ADHD is a debilitating condition that I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy. (I don't have any enemies tho bcz I'm an adult :P)
I think some people are just trying to score Ritalin
Ah there you have the root cause
Which is of course reason enough to withhold it from the people who need it and to doubt their experience at every turn. /S
Don’t be surprised when this kind of response is met with hostility.
I mean, read the room.
Ritalin is a nightmare drug, so no.
Every person with ADHD I have met has related heavily to my struggles with simply staying on my prescribed medication, you should reevaluate what you think you know about the disorder because you seem really ignorant.
I was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD when I was 8, but haven't taken the meds in years
