Also neurodivergent people in history:

"That woman is strange and odd. She is clearly in league with the devil. Let us throw stones at her until she dies."

"That boy will not sit still for his lessons. Let us whip him until he shows proper respect."

"That toddler has begun acting different from before and is not like their siblings. They have been replaced by a changeling. Let us drown them in a river."

"That man is simple. Let us give him the worst jobs, steal his wages, and mock him throughout his life since he will not know better."

ADHD :(

#neurodivergent #stop romanticizing the past #too many people have apparently forgotten that “treatment” for neurodivergence used to be inflicting violence until we conformed #the joke when I was growing up was that ADHD was liberal nonsense #all these kids needed was a whipping with a belt to get them to stop acting up and pay attention #it was a literal standup routine #people LAUGHED
