@Pencils_Stories I think some of it comes from an American viewpoint as they only have a couple of hundred years of history (from a non indigenous perspective) where as Europe is architecturally considerably older.
Not only is it possible to have ADHD even if you got good grades in school, but it's likely you’ll suffer longer without support or treatment because the people in your life assume that anyone who is smart can't suffer from ADHD.
@Pencils_Stories For me it’s a massive thing. I got diagnosed ADHD a couple of years ago which means I now understand why I’ve always struggled finishing projects. As such when I do finish now there’s a lot of pride there. 😊
@MrRiktus I feel your pain. I had flu at Christmas and have covid now. Woohoo. Thing that worries me the most is I’m allowed (even encouraged) to go to work with covid now.
One of the hardest things to explain to people without ADHD:
• when it’s interesting, I can start on it
• when it’s uninteresting, I can’t
Note that the second one is not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T.
I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.
@johnreppion I can’t believe some of the baseless nonsense people believe lately. Even when they prove the opposite of what they believe they still believe it.
