Oh boy, guess reacting to this is going to be my Hot Take of the Day because apparently I& #39;m in a mood and also disagree with... pretty much all of this!

First off, ADHD is still a heavily underrecognized and often misunderstood condition that deeply impacts the people who have it - many times in ways they have never even been taught to recognize.
pwADHD can feel isolated both from neurotypicals who don& #39;t understand them or their disorder and the rest of the neurodivergent community who all too often treats ADHD as if it is somehow less legitimate/debilitating/valid than other issues - rather like in this post.
Using The Crowded Room to try and say that other communities shouldn& #39;t be talking about their issues because the movie is more ~serious~ really isn& #39;t supporting either group of people or the issues they& #39;re facing.
The misrepresentation of DID is awful, painful and is absolutely going to increase stigmatization of the disorder. Believe me, I am well aware - but if it is the only thing on my TL until it comes out I am going to scream. It should not be a reason to silence other issues.
Raising awareness and talking about ADHD isn& #39;t something that will disadvantage other neurodivergent people? I get that ADHD isn& #39;t as societally stigmatized as other disorders, but that is a double-edged sword because it *is* very heavily minimized.
Also, the fact that disabled people are being denied disability benefits is a systematic issue so far removed from... people with ADHD talking about their disorder online that I don& #39;t even know where to begin with what a false equivalence fallacy that is.
Acting like you& #39;ve seen "too much" discussion of a specific disorder on a list of either arbitrary or misguided measures is honestly just kind of a crappy thing to do.
On a separate topic - please stop trying to say that the term narcissistic abuse is inherently ableist or derogatory towards people with cluster B disorders. I absolutely think that we should criticize the concept that *any* disorder makes someone inherently abusive.
But the term does exist for a reason and does carry specific meaning - because narcissistic abuse is a specific kind of abuse and it causes a specific kind of trauma that the people who went through it should be able to talk about.
Policing the language of survivors isn& #39;t helpful and causes a lot more damage than the term itself. Personality orders are absolutely stigmatized, but denying that narcissistic abuse is real and that it happens isn& #39;t going to be what changes that.
And specifically claiming that a day of awareness for narcissistic abuse survivors is something that "cluster B is [having to] deal with" really, REALLY isn& #39;t the good look you think it is. /https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread"> #mentalhealth #adhd #dissociatwt
