In reference to the awful /r/ADHD subreddit which is the most anti-ADHD place online I have ever seen I would like to know if this place will follow their horrible example or actually allow neurodivergent people with ADHD to consider it a home?
Based on this from the sidebar it seems positive and I look forward to interacting with you all.
"Encouraged:
Funny memes. Welcoming and accepting attitudes. Questions on confusing situations. Seeking and sharing support. Engagement in our values."
Yeah I think if there was a venting place it wouldn’t be so bad. And again, like not saying that ADHD is all sunshine and rainbows. But iunno dude, I just want to see how people make their ADHD work for them, or what apps they use, or whatever.
Like yes toxic positivity is a real issue, but there’s a difference between “hey I finally made my bed!” And toxic positivity. Then there’s also my own gripes of it being too American for me, but that’s mostly because my local ADHD sub was pretty dead tbh.
Yeah and in fairness it can be easier to find something to complain about than come up with positive or even neutral topics but I found most interesting conversations to be about small things I didn’t think could be linked to ADHD.
Also that’s true, if it’s all Americans it’s hard to find out what it’s like to get a diagnosis in another country or what meds are being prescribed etc.
