You ever see something that causes you psychic damage?
They're talking about getting their kid tested for ADHD because the school recommended it and instead getting their kid identified as gifted and put on an accelerated track.
I love to be the bearer of news here for ya because accelerated learning tracks are GREAT accomodations for people with ADHD.
Turns out he was just bored? Respectfully, do you understand what ADHD is and how it works? Of course he's bored he has ADHD.
The "gifted" program's gift is actually just late diagnosis once your kid leaves the academic world and discovers that they have received zero actual skills, habits, or support to help them be successful as an adult.
I think the really fucking tragic part is that most of the time late diagnosis happens AFTER the new adult has crashed and burned trying to establish themselves after they leave the nest. Oftentimes going in for help for depression and coming out with an ADHD diagnosis because it turns out their depression is comorbid.
Tl;dr: Without knowing you have a disability, it is impossible to accommodate your disability so that you can still fucking function and learn how to flourish as yourself. End fucking stop.

For the last year at least I’ve been putting off catching up on doctor who cause I was convinced I stopped watching after spyfall, and I decided today I want to catch up before Saturday, which really isn’t much time given that I’m working all day tomorrow and Saturday, but I’ve just realised I actually watched most of series 12, leaving only 12 episodes for me to catch up on, and I reckon if I put some effort in I can have all of those watched by tomorrow.
