long post, neurodiversity and ADHD
If you wanna read some following discussion here, I can say a few things.
#ADHD is 100% part of being #neurodivergent. It affects every aspect of my life, including my emotions, the way I interact with others, the way I react to things around me, and the way that I think and act. There are things I've experienced that are normal to me that most #neurotypicals look at and think is off or strange about me specifically. If anyone out there has ADHD and is told or has convinced themselves that they are *not* neurodivergent, I'm here to tell you that you need to change that mindset.
There are so many things in my life that I wish I had known could be explained by just knowing my own mental disorder better, things that aren't explained or are dismissed as "not real symptoms" even by the medical community. I think for this post, one that is the most prominent for me and would likely be incredibly relatable to other folks and likewise a wake up call for neurotypicals would be emotional dysregulation.
