The research hadn't been done to classify us as ADHD/ASD, so we *were* the research.
We ALL deserve to be compensated for being shipped off to shrinks as young girls for being "bad" when our behaviors were caused by our wiring. Kids today with the same issues I had get IEPs and an environment they can thrive in. Kids in the 90s got sent to quack psychologists who "hadn't done the research." THE RESEARCH IS LITERALLY THEIR JOB, WHAT WERE THEY BEING PAID FOR?

Preach. Or those who weren’t sent to psychologists as kids, but in therapy as adults realised they believed they were bad lazy and incompetent because of the way teachers had treated them
ReplyAs a young-in That's true I was able to learn about my ADHD right before I started high school but I will say there is something to be said for feeling the guilt of being lazy. Although that's not the only thing going on I feel like I got cut too much slack for a long time because I had ADHD. (Not to mention getting hooked on drugs so young but that's a whole other story) Although it made things difficult for me a bit of it was that I had begun to use ADHD as an excuse and people let me. It's only after I started to stop using my ADHD as an excuse I began to actually find better ways to get things done. I felt more accomplished and improved my grades. My point is there's no right way to find out and everything will be rainbows and sunshine. You have to grow and go through trial and error to learn to accept yourself and work with what you have. There's no escaping that ugly bit.
