putting aside personal beliefs for a moment and speaking practically - if there are two ways to approach this issue, one where the solution is to end systemic ableism and the other where the solution is to end ADHD, might i remind everyone that only one of those is possible? https://twitter.com/mcmansionhell/status/1384233036804366340
I don't understand this obsession with defending internalized ableism about ADHD. Not having ADHD is not an option. That is not on the table. Creating a more universally accessible world & fighting stigma and oppression so people don't have to hate themselves is an option
Let's say for the sake of argument that getting rid of ADHD would make your life better. You can’t! All you can do is make this life better or worse for people with ADHD. You can encourage people to hate themselves or not. Why choose to make this life worse? it's the only option.
Ableism is a cause of suffering we can do something about but people would rather reinforce ableism and create more suffering because they're stuck on some dream existence where they are a different human being entirely. Grow the fuck up.
