before Millennials introduced acceptance.

I’m not suggesting that we’ve made it to full acceptance, but that Millennials really began normalizing acceptance of disorders as well as mental health treatment.

I make it a point to talk about my mental health and treatment openly with my friends and co-workers. Everyone should do it. You never know if you could be the little push someone needs to seek help.

Gen X here. Anything that didn't fit in our box was gay or retarded.

I'm on (just barely) Gen Z and I still get called retarded for symptoms of neurodivergence

I'm a Gen Xer, and I think it's fucked up that people say things like that to you. I'm sorry, you deserve better.

That's very kind, thank you
