Hi!
I'm a doctor looking to raise medical awareness through a streetwear brand. The clothing would aim to break stigma and false opinions re ADHD and empower those affected by the condition. All proceeds will go to charities. My question is to ask experiences as someone who has ADHD or a relative/parent - what abuse do you often receive? What do you think would stop this? What could I put on a tshirt to empower someone with ADHD and stop the abuse? All input would be helpful! Please don't hold back! When the clothing has come out, I'd only be looking for people with ADHD to model it so if you're interested in that, do let me know too! My email is info@iawaiawa.com if you want further info. Thanks, and take care!!

I'm not sure abuse is the right word?
The biggest problem is exclusion, IMHO.
Take Priti Patel as an example. She's in a job where she feels compelled to advocate for the vulnerable. Compelled to make progress on behalf of the tax payer/citizen. She's almost certainly found herself in situations where she feels she's fighting a losing battle. Surrounded by an army of career civil servants who should be champing at the bit to help her but instead are slightly irritated that she keeps asking them to do their jobs.
We all know who's been painted as the abuser in this picture. Luckily, the exclusion game failed in this instance and she still has a job but the outcome seldom goes in our favour, in my experience.
Does that help?
If I was doing a street wear brand, I've no idea what I'd put on it. Perhaps a picture of the crown and the phrase, "If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well."
When you think of ADHD, don't think victim, think superhero/supervillain.
