If you have ADHD in the UK at the moment it feels like every single day you have to read yet more misleading headlines and then the resulting commentary from people who seem to despise our very existence and it's so utterly, utterly demoralising and upsetting to just have no way to push back – at Winsford, England

Nobody ever mentions this ADHD wound. quietly believing your entire life that nobody actually wants to be your friend. that if you called to hang out you'd be bothering them. that if you invited them somewhere you'd be an inconvenience. and every friendship you have is one you're grateful for on the assumption they'll leave soon.

There's a strange kind of grief that comes with discovering you're autistic as an adult. Because suddenly, the things you spent years hating about yourself have an explanation,the friendships you couldn't maintain,the exhaustion after being around people,the times you were called dramatic, difficult, awkward, too sensitive, weird. The routines you desperately needed but couldn't explain. The meltdowns you thought were tantrums long past the typical tantrum years.
It's relief because finally your life makes sense, but it's also sadness for the little girl you used to be who was misunderstood to the point she didn't understand herself.

Deactivating social media made me realise just how invisible I can be to people. No one calls. No one texts to check on me. No one seems to notice that I’ve gone quiet or wonder where I’ve been. It’s as if the moment I stopped showing up on their screens, I slowly stopped existing in their minds too. And there’s something deeply painful about realising how many connections seem to depend on your online presence. You can spend so much time interacting with people, watching their lives, keeping up with their updates and assuming you’re part of each other’s worlds, only to step away and realise how little effort some people make to maintain that connection outside of social media. It makes you wonder how many people genuinely think about you when you’re not constantly reminding them that you exist. How many would reach out simply because they miss you, want to hear your voice or care enough to ask how you’ve been. I know people get busy and silence doesn’t always mean someone doesn’t care. But it still hurts when you realise that if you stopped making yourself visible, you might stop hearing from people altogether. Disappearing from social media teaches you who remembers you when there’s nothing on their screen reminding them that you exist.

BREAKING: Scientists confirm that rejection sensitive dysphoria is real and specific to ADHD.
One piece of criticism hits an ADHD brain the way physical pain hits a neurotypical one.
This is why we quit suddenly. This is why we overthink every message.. 1/6

Sometimes the hardest part of being neurodivergent isn’t the symptom itself. It’s having to explain your experience to people who assume that if you can do something once, you should be able to do it consistently.
Yes, I did that task yesterday. No, that doesn’t mean I can reliably recreate the exact same mental conditions today.
