getting real aggravated with how all the content around ADHD these days seems to be slipping back towards “ADHD makes you a fun silly Manic Pixie Dream Girl and yeah losing stuff and being late all the time is annoying but ha ha squirrel”
ADHD ruins lives. The suicide rate of ADHDers is heartbreaking. ADHD comorbid with major depression is the norm, not the exception. ADHD also comes comorbid with fun things like Binge Eating Disorder and substance abuse addictions, because our brains literally don’t make enough dopamine to function. The rate of comorbidity with autism is sky high, often compounding the issues we face and the difficulty we have in getting proper help.
People are destroyed by this disorder and how it makes adapting to neurotypical society basically impossible and the absolute wrenching agony of that reality. We all have horror stories of medical providers, teachers, bosses, parents, telling us we’re making things up, or we’re exhibiting “drug seeking behavior”, that ADHD is fake, or the bizarre notion that one just “grows out of it”. Getting assistance for things like work and school accommodations can be a nightmare, because many neurotypicals making decisions about who can access these accommodations consider ADHD to be a mild annoyance at worst, despite it being a disability recognized and covered by the Americans With Disabilities Act.
sure, it can be fun to be the MPDG ADHDer. but 9/10 times it’s nowhere near as fun as it looks, and you don’t see the pain that being a messy, frantic, cupiditous, fickle, mercurial, hypersexual, chaotic, distracted, manic-depressive bundle of hyper sensitive nerves who can’t keep track of anything or finish anything or stick anything out, pay bills on time, or basically exist as a functioning human in society, brings with it.
my ADHD isn’t cute and quirky. It’s a nightmare.
