22 hours agoLike many others, honestly, I’m more frustrated with conversations that downplay the impact of ADHD on my life. It has upsides, and in a different world it may not be a deficit, but in this world, it adds barriers and difficulties. It sets me on the back foot compared to my peers. As long as the language were using if lets me talk about the struggles and downsides, without forcing me to pretend that it’s a net neutral or net positive in my life, I’m ok with it.
In my experience, ADHD meds make it easier to stay in task rather than getting distracted, but they don’t make it any easier for me to actually start tasks!
