"You're just using it as an excuse" is now a red flag for me that I'm talking to a garbage person and saves a lot of emotional energy kicking them out of your life.
“Oh yeh, we all have a bit of ADHD though right?”
I read a good rebuttal to this on here a while back that stuck with me.
"Yeah we all pee also, but if you do it 500 times a day there is something wrong."
I wrote this in another thread. (not that the idea is original)
Basically, everyone experiences attention deficits. Regularly forgetting to eat because of inattention is a disorder.
My response is even harsher, I go with lead has a 60% chance of causing adhd and lead was banned from being put in cars at the gas station in 1996. Then watch as most people my age realize they may have been exposed. The rest of the 40% chance is autism and more severely cerebellar hypodysplasia.
"Well when your little bit of ADHD ruins your career, relationships, school, self esteem, self confidence, then we can talk"
"Suuure. Totally."
I get that with autism. I have autism, and when i tell people, often they're like "oh, we're all a little autistic"
