Insisting that everyone, particularly anyone with ADHD can just do something if they just "take some effort" or "some scheduling" is absolutely ableist.
I can only intentionally read theory on meds and meds are very much not easily accessible.
I've been diagnosed with adhd and autism, I get it, but i'm able to get by, even without meds (hawaii does not have good healthcare access). Audiobooks are my icon. Although I do understand the harshness of my statement shouldn't have been as sweeping as it was.
conversely, i haven't been able to get through a book in over a decade. i have a little over 100 tabs open in my current browser window right now. i have read probably 10% of each one of them, maybe, except for the ones i'll "get back to." it has been months since i first opened them. i have never looked at them. i will never get back to them.
not everyone is as functional as you are and no amount of forceful rhetoric can fix that. natural ability aside, folks educated in the US may very well have worse reading comprehension than any "literate" peoples in human history. if they learn from videos, make videos. if they learn from memes, fuck it, make memes. if their education is incomplete, then complete it. mastery of a concept should include the ability to break it down to the point that a child can understand it.
yeah, the response im getting to this is making me change my view. I took my frustration out on the wrong people and in the wrong way.
