ADHD sucks, i don’t understand the people who want to act like they have it or are proud of having it, it’s like people who think autism is a super power, as the dad of an autistic kid, no it isn’t, it sucks and it’s hard and it’s not something you should be proud of having
I’m sure you mean well, but it feels really inconsiderate to tell autistic people their feelings towards their own self aren’t valid.
In my experience, the most uniting autistic experience is feeling like a burden, because that’s what autistic people are treated as. Pride of who you are is a direct response to being told there’s something fundamentally wrong with you.

People are just overcompensating for their shortcomings :-/
I mean, I don’t think everyone experiences it the same way and there is an interplay with your personality type that can be adapated to be beneficial
This is entirely based on my own experience watching my adhd change throughout the years.
Now all those random interested have started to accumulate and I’ve changed my relationship with adhd too.
Agreed. I very much like who I am on Adderall.
