People are dumb. I don’t have ADHD and still can relate, because when a few things in a row don’t go as planned and require extra steps to get done, I get a desire to kill and smash
Yeah. It is high time all people recognized that just as body can malfunction, mind can also, and this is not going to be wished or waived away as laziness, occasional lack of phocus, bad mood and so on and so forth
It depends on the kind of acceptance. If you accept that certain things will be harder for some people and make reasonable accommodations so they can get on with their lives, then people can get on with their lives. If you accept things will be harder so use that as an excuse for people never doing anything without removing any of the obstacles stopping them doing things, they’ll never get anything done. It’s really just addressing the problems versus deciding the problems are inevitable and giving up. That said, giving up can be a lot less miserable than refusing to acknowledge problems and yelling at people when they don’t keep up.

It took me two years to pick up five quarters that I dropped on the driver’s side of my car when I got my change back at a coffee place.
For two whole fucking years, the noise, sight, and presence of those dropped coins irritated me and stole my peace of mind.
It took me only a few seconds to pick up those coins when I finally decided to. I don’t know why I didn’t pick them up before.
ADHD is a horrible disease and it makes life hard for me and for those around me.

Ironically, the more accepting others are of mental health issues, the more power those issues seem to have to disrupt.
