cant stand mental illness being used as an excuse. just because you have a dx (self or otherwise.) doesnt mean youre excused, literally what about people who do the same thing but can't identify the reason? its a bullshit double standard half the time
how is someone with emotional dysregulation due to adhd lashing out any different to someone without it doing the same. i don't see that difference at all. both should be held accountable in the same way. having a behaviour explanation is nice but often doesn't rlly mean shit
idk i think people are stupid. the double standard gives me a fucking headache and i know people emphasize more with what they understand better but regardless i just think the attitude of "its less bad bc they know why :)" is immature and ridiculous, yet i see it CONSTANTLY
TO ELABORATE this is more "two people have identical behaviour but one is diagnosed so you let them off", there are OBVIOUS cases this doesnt apply such as someone w adhd loosing focus in a conversation and someone just being a dick but thats Not What I Am Talking About
i think i just care about this a lot as someone in constant disarray over the reasonings and roots for his own behaviour and thoughts.i just think we need to stop giving people with a name for their actions leeway where ppl who are in the dark dont get it
if any idiots take this thread out of context or intentionally make me look like an asshole im going to scream. by the way i have adhd with really severe emotional dysregulation symptoms so dont give me shit for my choice of comparison aight
