If you're going to call out specific groups of people who aren't allowed to relate to your posts (instead of just, I don't know... ignoring people who don't respond to your posts the way you'd like?), can you at least get your facts straight? ADHD absolutely can cause severe memory issues. Real, actual, severe, debilitating memory problems. You're letting your (understandable!) frustration with certain people who do talk over other people with more severe disabilities turn into actual intracommunity ableism, and it sucks.
Lmao clearly you don't understand what "severe" means. Your ADHD does not cause you memory issues on par with anterograde amnesia from a moderate-severe brain injury. It does not cause you memory issues on par with dementia. You assume you can relate because you think you're the most disabledest ever and nobody can possibly suffer more than you, but you really can't. Some people are more disabled than you, that isn't an attack on you personally. It isn't ableism to tell you that something isn't about you, which it isn't.
I wouldn't have to add things like that to posts if people just like you didn't CONSTANTLY insist on making posts by people with more severe disabilities than you all about yourselves and derailing them because you find more severely disabled people invalidating. THAT'S ableism. You try dealing with that on almost every single post you make, no, every time you try to talk about your experiences, then you can talk to me about "just ignoring it". Sometimes things just aren't about you, learn to deal with it and respect other disabled people's boundaries, or leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
