You know, I never see any positivity posts for people who have ADHD and struggled because of it. So shout out to ADHD kids who:

•  Were told they were just lazy, stupid, or weren’t applying themselves
•  Were put on medications with side effects worse than the intended effect
• Tried so hard to study, and just couldn’t do it
• Who had to be pulled from regular classes to be put into smaller ones away from all of their friends, and later had to awkwardly explain or excuse why
•  Have so many incomplete works because they got distracted and just never went back to it
•  Could relate to the “stupid” characters in TV shows who were forgetful or easily distracted and treated as a joke
•  Had their interests/hobbies taken away from them as a last-ditch attempt to get them to focus
•  Are always running late
•  Are effected by their ADHD daily and ignored by the mentally ill community for ADHD “not being serious enough.”

You’re super cute, and great for getting through all of that.

ALSO SHOUTOUT TO THE ADHD ADULTS WHO ARE DENIED CARE OR SUPPORT OR JUST PLAIN TOLD THEY DON’T EXIST BECAUSE ADHD SOMEHOW MAGICALLY VANISHES ON YOUR 18TH BIRTHDAY
