No. Just that support for one person is entirely different from someone else. Support must be tailored to individual needs. Use of medication is much the same. Not everyone benefits. It can take time to find the right one. But nobody who needs it should be denied.

Really not the point, though.

And not call us "lazy, entitled, made up dilettantes"

Meanwhile my ex-psychiatrist wouldn’t even consider me having adhd but was down with the anxiety meds.

Yeap! There’s a clear before and after ADHD meds in my life. I truly wondered why I couldn’t do tasks my colleagues had no trouble with (among a huge list of other life items to get done).

(we all know it isn’t happening anywhere, but even if it actually were I couldn’t move there! because no country with remotely decent healthcare will let my crip adhd ass immigrate! ha ha ha god i love the world we live in.)

I got arrested because of my ADHD inability to get my lawn mowed. I've had to pay a guy to mow my lawn for 20 years now to prevent it happening again. Even after being diagnosed 5 years ago.

I was diagnosed in the 90s and they gave me meds thst did nothing but make me very prone to being motion sick and then all the actual problems I was having at school and work for the rest of my life were blamed on either my other traumas or me being lazy for 3 decades.

Lol, I wish I could've made it to 50 without burning out 🙃 But yeah, getting real sick of this eugenics-y shit

My burnout started about 4 yrs ago. I'm still in burnout. Not sure it'll ever get better. Course, I still automatically mask, and take on more than I should. So...burnout gonna keep burning out.

I failed out of 4 (i think) and took 4 years to finish my associates LMao. Thankfully I decided to do a coding bootcamp right during the tech hiring boom and got into my industry without a 4 year degree. Probably should have just gone into the trades but it was never on my radar.

Ditto here, I'm still trying to work it out. I never reallly had a job but once I discovered that I was quite good at starting entire companies to employ me, so long as others did the management.
