Why are some people with ADHD so ableist to autistic people? Sometimes it feels worse than ableism from neurotypical folks.

internalized ableism and literal thinking unfortunately. it’s hard for some people to understand that people can be neurodivergent in a different way than themselves.

As someone with adhd I see it all the time and it’s honestly horrible, I think #1 is right tho, especially bc the internalized ableism is reallyyy rampant for adhd since it can sometimes feel like we can just “push through” and things like getting regular sleep, exercise, and healthy diet do actually help our symptoms to some extent so lots of ppl are in denial abt their symptoms and project that onto others

When facing an ableist, one must simply be a cainist.

I’m pretty good at putting people in their place when they are intentionally ableist and cruel.
