ADHD is a mental health condition. A disability. Would you tell a paraplegic in a wheelchair to just be healthy and stand? Have you heard the term "invisible disability?" Many mental health issues are invisible. You know the dude muttering to himself on the street needs help, if not some grace about their abilities. But the dude with ADHD trying to do a simple task but his brain is wired differently making it as hard as a paraplegic getting up and standing.. you don't know to give him grace. How would you? That's why these posts are important. Maybe people can understand what it's like. Especially this post. It's literally describing the difference in perception between individuals.

Does that make sense?

The mind is way more malleable than the body, so I think the analogy isn't perfect. But let's run with it. Let's take someone who has had a serious injury, but is not completely paralyzed and can be healed through rehabilitation. Telling them to not just sit in the wheelchair would be analogous to telling an ADHD person to stop lying in the couch with the phone for 3 consecutive hours.

Do you understand it now?

narrator He did not.

Do you want to learn or win? Bc I don't need to debate you. You're objectively wrong per science and facts. Your opinions don't mean anything.

They just wanna argue it seems. I apparently put words in their mouth by asking a question.

Yeah, I tried. Fuck that loser.

Same. I'll try to educate, but I'd have better luck trying to teach a brick to tap dance with some people.

You're an annoying Cunt, and the type of person that drives people from Lemmy. You're very unlikable. Do people tolerate you IRL?
