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

He basically said that he had no intent to harm, and that he was moreso making a joke from one ADHDer to another. He said he didn’t consider the fact that most of the audience of the flyer is seeing it from a NT standpoint.

Asked for more feedback on the mental health page on ig, and even said he was glad that I felt empowered to speak up. It felt so good to be validated and respected.

Turns out he has a doctorate in psychology 💀 he said he is diagnosed with ADHD as well as his colleagues who reviewed it. So the fact that it was kind of like an inside joke was the “hook” I suppose
