What part of the comment you originally responded to ever mentioned that they were an influencer/intended to profit off of their ADHD? You're fighting ghosts bud. Additionally, you have no way of knowing if these "assholes on social media" are: 1. Lying about their condition 2. Profiting from it and 3. Only doing it for clout. Maybe you're just annoyed by neurodivergent people being visible and having a platform?
Are you really surprised there's a large presence of neurodivergent people in this niche corner of the internet? ADHD (and autism) are mentioned often here because a bunch of people on lemmy are chronically online neurodivergent dorks.
Maybe don't accuse people of faking something and being disrespectful to "those suffering". I have ADHD, my entire life isn't suffering. I also agree that hitting a bowl when your Adderall kicks in is a nice experience. Are the pleasant aspects of my existence invalid because I'm supposed to be suffering all the time in your eyes? Are we not allowed to be proud of the way our mind works and celebrate those aspects of ourselves that we enjoy when those aspects are intertwined with our ADHD? From the bottom of my heart, eat shit and mind your own business
Or... Maybe it's because we have a better understanding of ADHD now and a lot of adults who were failed by the system as children are finally coming to understand themselves and be taken seriously by healthcare providers.
But probably not. Your short sighted, inflammatory, bigoted bullshit is defintiely correct.
I'm an anarchist and anti-electoralist and I still voted for the cop. Blame the democratic party and ignorant libs for the fat Ls we're all taking. Leftists aren't a big enough voting bloc to sway the election, and most of us still vote no matter how stupid and pointless it is.
Pourover gang here to also flex on this guy's roach tea.
Fr though, I dealt* with roaches for years and it was legitimately traumatizing. Any time I feel something brush my leg or I catch a glimpse of something dark in the corner of my eye I begin to panic. I've woken up in a cold sweat because I would have dreams of roaches and shit. Truly awful experience
