#among the biases against people with ADHD i cannot say im surprised

[adhbabey]

Hey, I noticed that you post a lot about RSD! I know that you're probably already aware that Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria isn't a medical diagnosis, but I'm concerned that some of your followers might not be. As real and valid as RSD is to us people with ADHD, most therapists won't recognize this term of you bring it up to them - which can cause both communication and trust issues. Someone seeking treatment might feel invalidated if their mental health professional doesn't recognize the terms they're using (especially someone that identifies with the RSD!). You get a lot of asks from people seeking diagnosis and I think that it's important to use your platform to educate them on the "medically correct" term for what they're experiencing - rejection sensitivity! I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way... RSD is very real to a lot of people and I hope that it continues to be the subject of research. Until then, using the current medically accepted terms can help people understand each other, which leads to better treatment!

oh no, im gonna punch the medical community dammit.

fuck i didn't know this ah shit. Oh well. I mean like- it's more like a symptom of ADHD. And ??? Idk??? Heck.

I don't think even most of the ADHD community knows this as it is a generally accepted term in the community. You tend to see a lot bigger blogs use this term as well??

Like damn, medical community get on the research or face my wrath.
