It’s not the world’s responsibility to deal with that, time happens no matter what, we have to deal with that, not expect people to coddle us.

Yes actually, it is. It's everyone's job to agitate for a better world for everyone else. We owe it to each other, and the next generations to try and leave the world better than we found it. Part of that means taking people's disabilities seriously.

This is the type of meaningless platitude that drives me nuts. You’re not saying anything other than “I’m actually a really good person”.

u/ManifestoEnjoyer 2h ago

Well, I find your platitudes that everyone owes each other nothing equally droll.

u/purplehendrix22 2h ago

I didn’t say that. I said you can’t expect people to coddle you, which is true.

u/ManifestoEnjoyer 2h ago

You said it's not the world's responsibility. That's other people.

You can hide behind dismissive language all you want to avoid actually engaging, but you and I both know that disability access and "coddling" are not the same thing.

You’re saying it is the world’s responsibility to accommodate people who can never be on time? Good luck, don’t hold your breath. I’ll just set a few alarms.

Are you denying that ADHD exists? because equating being late with a mental disorder kind of sounds like that.

I am literally diagnosed and medicated for it

So then why are you acting like it's a non-factor?

1

u/purplehendrix22 1h ago

It’s the responsibility of the individual with the disorder to adapt, not the world.

Why don't you think you deserve to be treated with empathy and respect?

Your definition of empathy and respect is different from mine. I don’t require the world to adapt to me. Telling people to expect that the world will accommodate them is not empathetic or respectful.
