Idk, the fact a comment like that sits positive, IN AN ADHD COMMUNITY, kinda makes me feel unwelcome in my own diagnosis. Like, is this place just going to be another place to be talked down to? Another place where we’re told to “toughen up” or “quit making excuses to be lazy”? Not sure I see the point in subscribing to that.
There’s shitty people in the fediverse like the rest of the world and we can’t stop randos from voting. Rest assured we don’t tolerate ableist idiots like the above comment and that poster has since been banned.
The funny thing is that ADHD people actually hate when people say that their ADHD is an superpower because it’s a total bullshit that neurotypicals love to say.
The only people who have ever told me I should treat being disabled like it gives me superpowers have been neurotypical and able bodied. We don’t like it.
And share our supposed “superpower” of…being oblivious to social cues. Great superpower. Glad we are all so FUCKING thrilled to accidentally upset people. I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop and OP That shitlicker BakedGoods, NOT MARTINESK, insinuates that there is nothing wrong with us and we just need to get some exercise. Or whatever the boomers think fixes mental issues. Jesus? Idk.
Yeah, like I’m so glad I’ve wrecked friendships over not doing something I didn’t know I was supposed to do and made absolutely no sense after I was told about it. Such a superpower.
It’s a “a lot of things” thing. Generally, the taboo around such behavior is just a symptom of a lack of empathy.
Just about any person could go into a panic while in a state of stress and do something irrational, and just about everyone does at least a few times. In a shared moment of stress, you might see more empathy because “any of us could have panicked/froze/etc.,” but if it’s just you, “something’s wrong with that person.”
Is this an ADHD thing too? I thought this was an autism thing
Ahh, the symptoms pool overlap…

Same with us 'burgers
What does even this joke mean?
Us spergs, man. I don’t like the diagnosis ASD cause its too general, and Assburger was a nazi, so I refuse to address him properly.
Gotcha, I wasn’t familiar with the term.

Someone is a salty neurotypical!
Gasp, some one is having fun and I’m not a part of it!?
How dare those disableds get to relate to each other!

Why tf everyone assumes that those things are “superpowers”, wtf?
I never said any of that stuff. You’re just making stuff up right now.
Not you, goober. The op of the comment above us. The ablist asshole.
Changed my downvote to an upvote. English isn’t my first language and I misunderstood your point.
Yup. Sure is great to constantly strain my marriage due to shit that is legitimately annoying and upsetting that I struggle to avoid doing.

There’s a lot of overlap, but it’s an autistic thing. ADHD had no effect on social skills.
Uhhh I have ADHD it 100% impacts my social skills. There’s a night and day difference between when I’m medicated and when I’m not.
Bro I wish
