Fuck, this hits close to home. Big part of the toxicity in my marriage was my wife (who had been diagnosed without telling me…) treating me like everything I struggled with was normal and everyone else managed despite it.
Ah, bigoted members of the minority they discriminate against

To add salt to the wound, she came to terms with her adhd shortly after we broke up. Suddenly she became much more understanding of the things that created so much friction for a decade and a half. It took us breaking up for her to learn some fucking compassion for my neurodivergence in general.
Time to spec into comic relief.
Audibly chuckled at this. Out loud.
The highest honor my people can give. All those years of trauma, worth it.
Owch😩

🤔 I wonder what people like that expect ADHD sufferers to do.
Stop having ADHD because it’s inconvenient for them. Then again I’ve also had people demand I leave my scent sensitivity at home. Like how I wish I could.
The thing I’m wondering though is where is the line drawn? If we say: let’s catch up, make a time and you forget, who’s job here is it to be understanding? I understand that things do happen, for anyone, and that’s life, but if it’s repeated it’s not like calendars don’t exist.
Genuinely curious as to where people think the line should roughly be when being understanding to those with diagnosed ADHD, who ask for extra understanding.
This understanding of ADHD is literally based on memes, so please don’t hate on me too much. Open to learn!
