Thanks mom. I didn't get treatment until I was 35 and prior to that I was living in my car fighting for survival. 7 years later I own a 3600 sq/ft house, new truck outright, and $100k in my 401k. Go fuck yourself and that mindset.
Holy shit, that was a can of unprompted worms that no one asked for.
Well, there's a large group of adults that struggled because of "my kid's not crazy". Imagine struggling half your life and everyone making jokes about it. You can check out any of the adhd subs to see the exact story played out over and over.
Where's my flyswatter?
You have exactly zero evidence that Twitter user made anything up. Shouting "Enabler!" at anyone that suggests you're wrong just illustrates how unreasonable your presumption is.
No no man, I also had untreated adhd. All those kids getting bullied a lot? Large % is from untreated adhd on the victim AND abuser side. I'll agree that self-diagnosin is b.s. it requires a prefessional and should be taken seriously.
