i’ve noticed a rise in people using “adhd people” and “adhders” and was wondering how common this was and how much of an issue it’s seen as across the adhd community !! hope the options make sense lol

rb for a wider sample size pretty please

#personally i use with/has adhd #and like. i’m Fine with people using other language for it but i don’t think it’s ableist to say with/has adhd #a lot of the time the issues around language and disability get talked about a lot more than the actual issues disabled people face #bc imo non disabled people would rather acknowledge that and say they’re helping than acknowledge the systemic issues disabled people face #so like i’m fine with other terms #prefer adhd as a noun bc it just sounds less clunky #but i won’t take issue if someone uses something else for me #unless it’s obv like ableist or if they’re saying it’s problematic to not use that other thing #adhd #poll #language #linguistics #<< vaguely but reach is good #reblog for sample size etc etc #neurodiversity #neurodivergent #important note the main reason i've heard it used a lot is i think bc my mum uses it #which is probably skewing it
