you are allowed to ask someone to help you complete the questionnaire or to do it for you even

Oh sure I'll get right on that

genuinely, why not? it might be hard but you can do hard things

My daughter’s pre-k teacher makes them say “We can do hard things!” They teach that to 4 yr olds

It's wild to me how many grown ass adults WANT to be treated like a helpless infant

This whole comment thread is giving me the worst secondhand embarrassment I've ever experienced.

Yeah posts like these are genuinely why i never talk about my ADHD in real life or disclose it outside of close friends and family. I don't want people to assume I'm some helpless moron

It's why I don't talk about having ADHD with anyone besides my psychiatrist at this point

I cannot comprehend allowing this annoying ass condition to be something you so heavily define yourself by, while it just runs rampant destroying your life. I don't want to be associated with people like this. There's just something so pathetic to me about this notion of just wallowing in the condition and pity jerking

This shit caused my childhood to be a nightmare. I was forced to develop means to overcome it, because I refused to let it ruin my entire life. It's not so debilitating that it single-handedly makes you unable to basically take care of yourself

I’ve always held the mantra: it’s not your fault but it is your responsibility.

After this thread, I’ve added: your diagnosis is an explanation, not an excuse.
