And I'm also tired of people constantly downplaying my patterns, and always saying it's not "really" ADHD, then wondering why I'm acting so odd and different. Or why I'm struggling with stuff even though "everybody does that". This sort of mentality has hurt me massively.

Maybe it's more nuanced than "this is adhd" and "this is not". Maybe it had to do with the intensity and rate of occurrence as well? But do you feel that a tweet needs to include all the goddamn nuances that come with a disorder that is primarily diagnosed by the intensity and disruptiveness of its symptoms just to make a joke?
