Adhd 

I'm feeling a bit disheartened that adhd has become a meme and also a catch all and as someone who has adhd I'm a little sad seeing people pass around (funny) bad information about what it's like living with it. Just seems like it's a buzz word to get clicks now

@oceanotter yeah, I agree. I also have ADHD and it is just frustrating seeing people do that. Still like all trends it will wither. All we can do is be ourselves and communicate. *sends hugs*

@ZiaMacPine I don't like it. But it's not like before when it was us being insulted for being different now it feels like the popular thing is to be different so you can excuse shitty behavior and that's also wrong. I'm glad I'm not alone in this. A lot of the memes I've seen are very funny and even relatable but lately they have been getting so out of bounds of what adhd actually is that it's becoming misinformation that could create problems for people seeking help.

@oceanotter a spectrum of "ugh, could we not"

I agree it isnt healthy and it can lead to unfortunate outcomes. Frustrating to be sure
