If you don’t have ADHD you shouldn’t be commenting here.
It's fine if people come in to learn about it though, right? I think a lot of people like myself can't get diagnosed for various reasons, or maybe they just have a loved one who has ADHD. I think it's better to say that if you're going to be ableist about it, you can keep your mouth shut.
Why are you assuming they don't have ADHD?
Because they are attributing some of the clearest examples of how the condition impacts people to a ‘growing up tax’.
A misguided view doesn't mean they don't have ADHD
Doesn’t mean they do either. This post appears on the all feed. Why would you assume they do with that view?
Because everyone experiences things differently, your experiences aren't representative of the group as a whole. Neither are his, or mine. Making assumptions like that does nothing positive for anyone.
What a load of shite.
Nothing to suggest they have ADHD or that it should be assumed by default.
I said ‘If’, not ‘You don’t’
What an inane comment to raise, really.
You're gatekeeping so hard it's hard to believe you're diagnosed with ADHD. Community pooper.
Not gatekeeping at all, they didnt try and enter the gate.
You however, are lucky your patter is atrocious.
I don't think it's very kind to diagnose someone from a single sentence
And if they had said they had ADHD and I had denied it you maybe would’ve had a point.
Why do you think the inverse is less problematic?
Why don’t you?
Because everyone is welcome to their own view. Just because it doesn't align with your view doesn't give you license to invalidate and dismiss the experiences of others.
What the fuck are you talking about, I didn’t dismiss or invalidate any experiences. The view he expressed is wrong and problematic. Get a grip Jesus Christ, blocked so you never waste my time with such pish again.
You diagnosed a stranger on a forum though a single sentence. Because you felt their views were wrong. Everyone gets to have their opinions, you can disagree without creating an ADHD purity test that you proctor.
