Thank you as an adult with lifelong severe combined type I was sick of the myths as a teenager and as I near 30 I’m angry. My parents weren’t told “hey, her memory is possibly gonna suck and she’s gonna probably need some extra coaching on emotional regulation, especially at a young age.” Instead I got yelled at for crying over small things and told that I have meds so I should be perfectly normal.

Meanwhile now at my age I have to fight against doctors regularly to maintain my prescription and I have to phrase shit so as to not sound desperate for my “function as an adult” pills that let me do things like drive, maintain employment, and stay off my wife’s nerves

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
