hi! someone who has been professionally diagnosed with adhd here!! some army are trying to diagnose Jungkook and it’s pissing https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Leicht lächelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Leicht lächelndes Gesicht"> me https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Leicht lächelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Leicht lächelndes Gesicht"> off https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Leicht lächelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Leicht lächelndes Gesicht">! why? because they’re basing it all off of him stimming and hyperactivity as if that’s all adhd is !

adhd can also include,
- mood swings
- sensory issues
- memory issues
- lack of motivation
- depression
- impulsive/risky behaviors
- inability to succeed in school or hold a job
- insomnia

am i saying that having adhd is a negative thing? no no no no. let me continue.

if you see someone stimming (ex: flapping hands, swaying/rocking side to side, bouncing leg) and find comfort in the fact that they do that too, that’s great! but throwing around the term “adhd” as if that’s all it is, is harmful. here’s why.

adhd is something that not many people are educated on. i thought it was just hyperactivity until i was diagnosed and began researching all the symptoms. those who aren’t educated might see you purely associating adhd only with stimming.

then this is how other people begin to self diagnose, not knowing that having adhd is actually such a huge struggle to deal with.

....i’m not saying that i lost my train of thought but.... i did. anyways unless you are a medical professional, do not try and diagnose others !! find comfort in those who stim. that is completely fine !! but please don’t turn adhd into just a “quirk” !
