    My comment isn't a personal attack, and I mean nothing but love, but I'm very aware of how NTs will take comments like your original and use that to dismiss the rest of us with ADHD.

    Please don't pretend you didn't intend to be hostile when you gave me a little sticker on your thoughts of my post like this is middle school and ask me who I am to know my friends.

    I identified myself as someone with ADHD (meaning that I think it's real) in my first comment that you responded to. Saying that I think it's over/misdiagnosed, or that I don't personally like the meds, isn't contradictory to ADHD being a real disability.

      and ask me who I am to know my friends evaluate if "other kids I knew in college" have a valid disability.

      Your comment is okaying it for others to question the validity of whether people are worthy of accomodations...I don't care if you have ADHD or not, this is shit I deal with regularly and it hurts.

      The "little sticker" is intended to let you & everyone viewing your comment know I find it harmful.

      If your other comments are true, you could have edited your initial comment with the context instead of retroactively adding that your relationship is closer than initially implied, and acting as if the interpretation of the original comment was uncharitable.

        No, my comment is saying that I knew who else in my program got accommodations for ADHD because I took tests with them, and that I knew some of them well enough to after 4 years to know that they likely had something else that was misdiagnosed (some of which were later confirmed), or they outright admitted that they didn't actually have ADHD to me. And yes, I found that out because I was friends with manys of those kids, which I have already asked you to stop claiming they aren't, yet you continue.

        I didn't need to edit anything. What you did instead of reading what I wrote in good faith was to bad jacket me by talking to me as if I am a chud who found my way on here and that my words were going to change prescription guidelines for the heads of the AMA and DEA that are apparently some of the 500 people online on this niche leftist website. You immediately jumped the most bad faith reading of my comment and have been hostile and bad jacketing anyone in this thread who disagrees with you, including other people with this disability.
