Edit: I just learned from a comment on another post here that it’s literally the only rule for this community. Thanks @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com for taking out the trash.


I just ran into several comments all saying this. If you’re going to be policing this community for “normal human behavior” you’ve certainly got a lot of work cut out for yourself. Almost everything about ADHD is an exaggeration of normal human behavior, we don’t randomly tweet like birds or wear silly hats, it’s the exaggeration that makes it a disorder.

It’s also really invalidating and it’s the same gaslighting crap that we’ve had fed to us by jerks our whole lives.

    But what about the other side of the spectrum, where everyone is going around saying “yeah, I’m a little OCD” and it undermines people trying to actually talk about their actual life-impairing OCD.

    Surely, we don’t want to downplay the severity of symptoms by just accepting “omg I’m so ADHD bc I got bored of this thing”
