This poster at my school made me so mad. Stop with the reinforcement of ADHD stereotypes. Stop with the infantilizing. This is just insulting.

I swear it’s either that or having no empathy, had a prof that listed it as a “incurable medical disease”

Why do they treat us like toddlers? “OooOooo shiny sparkly 🤩🥺😋” No. I can’t function and life is miserable

Some of the most ableist ppl are ppl who think that they are helping neurodivergent ppl but receive no input from neurodivergent ppl themselves ✌️

Also like, what is the workshop even gonna be? General study tips that most people have heard already just rehashed? Nothing helped in any substantial way until I was medicated and I don’t think it’s their intention but it just comes off like, if they have this one adhd workshop than they don’t have to consider accoms for students with it because “we already gave you resources” or whatever. Maybe just trauma from my own college experience.

I find occasionally comments or shiny jokes funny, but this is just demeaning. Way over the line 😭

The shiny is only funny when we say it about ourselves (or maybe as someone with it to someone else with it in a light-hearted way if you’re really close and the situation permits it)

I wouldn’t say my life is miserable but like. I AM an adult. For the love of god if you talk to me like a toddler I’m going to get pissed. I’ve fucking voted for gods sake. I may be behind my neurotypical (as well as cishet) peers cause of how much extra stuff I’ve gotta deal with but I’m not an idiot or a child.

And I KNOW several people approved of this poster before it was posted. That also is infuriating.
