ADHD: Why Do We Hold Ourselves to Neurotypical Standards?

Being more neurotypical does not equal being more valuable. We need to stop telling ourselves (and others) that it does.

How to ADHD



Quotes from the Comments:

"Having ADHD feels like working twice as hard just to do half as much as everyone else." - Alan the Dinosaur


"...my husband says, "You're playing on hard mode." He says, "don't compare yourself to others because you have to play on hard mode and they might be on standard settings... Makes me feel better about myself. That I'm not flawed, my life is just on hard mode, and I'm doing doing the best I can." - Caitlyn O'Sullivan

"I’m often reminded of this one comic about the educational system. There’s a variety of animals standing in a line, a songbird, a monkey, a penguin, an elephant, a fish in a bowl, a seal, and a dog. Across from them is a man who tells them: - “For a fair selection everyone has to take the same exam: please climb that tree” - Gulf Giggle Animations
