ADHD memes

When I was hyperactive, I was annoying, disruptive, and poorly disciplined.

When I wasn't hyperactive, I was a lazy slacker.

The boys that shared my symptoms got treatment. I got punished.

I was constantly bored in elementary school and needed constant stimuli to be interested in learning anything. I cought on to most things immediately and it was easy so I never did any homework because why bother when it's just easy so felt like I was just lazy and also got called out on sloppy work because I just didn't bother spending time on it. All hand in assignments were always written the night before and always got a medium to high grade so why bother doing anything more? That severely bit me in the bum years later in university and fast forward another 10 years and I now have an ADHD diagnosis and in hindsight things are now finally making sense.

I mean, everyone around me agreed that I definitely wasn't hyperactive but highly inattentive so it was a matter of putting 2 and 2 together

I got diagnosed with laziness in school.

Many years later, another doctor looked at the diagnosis and said that the first doctor had written down textbook symptoms then missed the diagnosis.

The word lazy still hurts today.
