I'm not quite sure how to say this without coming off as a jerk, but I don't think it's admirable that you want others to choose their own discomfort over yours.

Edit: Figured out a better way to say it: Please don't come into an ADHD community and praise people for how normal they can be because you don't like when they're not normal.

Just because it's part of your diagnosis doesn't mean it's not rude.

I'm not going to be like "man I love being interrupted. It really makes the conversation fun."

I don't think having symptoms is rude in the same way I don't think being an amputee is rude or being depressed is rude. Putting that you feel undervalued on your partner because of their symptom is something I would, however.

For me, it's draining the the point of not being able to do further mental effort for hours after. If you told me to give up my day to reassure, amuse, or otherwise tend to you, I'd tell you to take a hike.

I feel sorry for your wife for being looked down upon as rude for not being able to meet your standards and for not being partnered with somebody that can feel empathy for her.
