#just filled with righteous rage for my fellow neurodivergent folks who didn't know shit about what was ACTUALLY going on with them for years

Still pissed off that when i was diagnosed with adhd no one actually explained to me what that meant or actually helped me much so until like two years ago i thought everything that was 'Wrong' with me was just my own dumb fault.

Still think that schools should like offer a course in like middle school that goes in depth about mental disorders and takes time to explain what they actually mean and encourages students who see syptoms in themself to ask their parents to get them evaluated

Still feel like kids and adults/parents (especially parents) need to be taught that its alright to have mental disorders and anything caused by the disorder isn't their fault and understanding that their disorder sometimes prevents them from doing things and that knowing that doesn't make them lazy/make their disorder 'An excuse'

Still extremely bitter that everything I've learned about my disorder has been through the internet and because i heard/read about other people's stories/experiences and not because anyone sat down with me and explained that the things i do are not my fault and are in fact because i am neurologically different from others
