“When neurotypical people say that they are ‘so ADHD,’ they perpetuate a stereotype — not only about what ADHD is (we can’t get it together), but also about how minimally it manifests (forgetting purses and spacing during meetings).”
Now that more people are getting accurate diagnoses, I hear this a lot. “Oh my God, everyone says they have ADHD. You know those kids in school only do it for extra time on the SATs,” people tell me.
Aside from cheating the SAT , why would people falsely claim to have ADHD? Is it trendy or cool to have a diagnosis that makes people lob epithets like “spaz,” “hyper,” and “too much?”Gosh I wonder why people with ADHD might be overrepresented on the dopamine slot machine websiteThis one got tossed around on The Bachelor, too. It’s extremely harmful to adults who have finally been diagnosed to invalidate their medical condition.
Before I was diagnosed, I kept forgetting that I needed to give my kids lunch, and by the time they said they were hungry, they were miserable, angry messes. We are adults. We have ADHD..” While it can seem as if they do, the reality is that the challenges simply morph with time and age. This can lead to uncomfortable conversations.
