Like this shit is not a joke to me, if you aren't on meds it can literally make your life into a disorganized hell.

I'm sure many of you have been there. It's not some skin we can take off

    self-diagnosis isn't much an issue for me more so compared to minimization/superpower framing. If i hear ADHD is a superpower one more time i might cry.

      It's like having laser vision, but you have very little control over when it happens.

      Inevitably, virtually everyone with that "superpower" would have a hard time integrating with society.

          Timed exams are the work of Satan. My mind is a barren wasteland void of anything useful as soon as any timer starts.

          Check with your uni, you may be able to get extra time for exams. Still not perfect, but definitely better.
