      Yeah I’m very very glad I’m “just” ADHD. When I was diagnosed it wasn’t possible to be diagnosed as autistic and ADHD. They didn’t fully change that until I was well an adult. I was more ADHD as a kid so, ADHD it was.

      I didn’t realize until I was middle aged that I’m probably level 1 and on the spectrum as well as ADHD.

      So, it’s like you said, maybe a blessing in disguise. I just don’t want all my brethren and all of my sisters who did get diagnosed to face a horrible fate.

      Us neurodivergent need to stick together. Justice for all.

        If you have any history of diagnosis or treatment for ADHD you’re fucked if they get this far. These people don’t care about the differences. I’ve taken stimulants for a decade, and considering the only thing between this administration and those records are a call to Walmart? I’ve got my passport close and am job hunting in Sweden/Germany.

          Oh, I’ve got zero history of diagnosis or treatment for anything. But it’s become very apparent I definitely have multiple things lol. I just don’t really see doctors and that will someday be a problem.

          So many people I know have been diagnosed and are on treatments though, and the fact that we’ve already gotten to the stage of disappearing protected classes despite court orders is troubling as hell to put it mildly. I want to believe we can still stop this before the worst happens, but securing a stable life elsewhere is frankly not a bad idea.
