and they all are something like 'oh, i do "x" because ADHD", and everyone is like, 'well, no, that's just normal human behaviour.'

Yes, you have ADHD but, like, wanting to lie on your couch and watch trash tv instead of doing your dishes is just normal. She's now putting every negative habit on ADHD, and it's partly true, but also, not EVERYTHING is about that.

- Not always about blame. There’s value in simply having the language to talk about things accurately and precisely. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 16, 08:42
