"You know that #ADHD meds are addictive, right? They're basically speed!" 🤡

Listen... if I were in danger of getting addicted, I wouldn't need daily reminders to keep me from forgetting to take them. 🤦‍♂️

@shapr

Has literally anyone at literally any point ever offered a logically-sound rationale for said nonsense?

Because I am f***ing baffled as to how it became popular to say “your disorder in particular is fake” about ADHD of all things.

I don't have it myself, but as far as I can tell, it's a neurological disorder like any other, and I don't see anybody sounding off about epilepsy or Parkinson's being fake.

@ARGVMI~1.PIF @Shae Erisson I think it just stems from neurotypicals not being able to comprehend the notion that other people's minds work differently from their own. I don't have this issue so much because I've spent my life surrounded by neurotypicals, so I see this fact first hand every day.

Because they fail to grasp this concept, they're led to the conclusion that we're lazy and/or simply lack willpower, and it's our fault for not just "buckling down". Sadly, they end up inadvertently gaslighting us as a result. I've had to work very hard to try to reverse this conditioning.
