If someone close to you has ADHD, please read this !!! It’s a very misunderstood (and frankly misnamed) disorder and bc of this friends and family members of ppl w the disorder often invalidate their symptoms and tell us to fix things we can’t control!! https://twitter.com/indiefilmdebut/status/1274430561747111937

It will take you 5 minutes to read this thread and some of the replies! Have conversations with your ADHD peers, ask questions, talk to them and make sure you’re not talking to them in ways that is hurtful and counterproductive!!

Please be kind and gentle with your ADHD friends, our disorder is not a joke, and it’s not something we can grow out of or fix. It’s a neurological disorder. It’s in our genes and it will stick with us for our whole lives. It’s often overlooked and not taken seriously

And we just want neurotypical people to listen to us and understand that we are trying just as hard as you are! We’re just wired in such a way where you can’t see that.
