Hi. I'm struggling to contain my anger and exasperation when people just do not understand that I am the way I am. It could be a "There's something wrong with him" comment or something similar. Why can't neurotypicals understand that there's nothing *wrong* with me? It's like i'm suddenly a non-entity of a person in their eyes and it tears me up. Why can't people just understand that there's such a thing as neurodiversity and that there's nothing wrong with that?! There is something seriously messed up in society that there is such a level of misunderstanding with ADHD that people can honestly believe that it's okay to say to people that there's something wrong with them. I try my hardest every single day with this condition and everything is a constant struggle day in, day out and I've had it with this. I'm fed up of ignorant ***** who know nothing about me, don't know who i am, don't know anything about anything of any value whatsoever try and justify themselves in this way. I'm fed up of it. It's especially crap when you have to live with those people. Like **** off?
Ok that's all i wanted to say and I'm glad i've got it off my chest.
Peace and love.

I genuinely think it's easier not to tell people about ADHD and just let them believe: 1. He's a bit excitable today? 2. He's a bit of a twat? 3. He's a bit stupid? 4. He's a bit grumpy today? Makes things so much easier

it can't be unsaid and instead of being a bit of a twat *today* you'll be a 'special' *forever*

That sounds harsh, people can be awful sometimes. It's rough to be labeled negatively no matter what the reason - it really gets me down when people act like I'm just "stupid". Hope you meet more people today who point out the many things that are "right" about you - I'm sure there are loads.
