MODERATORS
Your rant was just straight up not true though, it was however indicative of the “it’s too hard to even try” mindset many of us have with adhd.
You can do better for yourself.
My dude I have no interest in “besting” you, but I have every interest in advocating for people like us.
It’s a shame you deleted your comment because yours + mine was actually a solid lesson for people who have that kind of mindset. I too OFTEN have that mindset and would prefer to rant in a hyperbolic way about how terrible it is so I ought not even try.
If my comments here are causing you to react this way maybe your Sunday morning would be better served not on the internet.
