@dave@autisticnomad.social I was once told that I probably *used to* have #ADHD, but now I'm just afraid to grow up. (This was by #MayoClinic, which has been successfully sued by various psychiatric patients for misdiagnosis. They might be brilliant in everything else, but in my experience, they simply view #neurodivergence as an excuse for laziness. Which is what everyone thought years ago before we knew better.) Oh, also apparently I didn't get along with my mother. They based that on my tendency to interrupt her - which, hello, is classic ADHD. Fortunately she didn't take their 'diagnosis' as truth and feel hurt.
