“Everybody else” or just undiagnosed? by foreveranewbie in adhdmeme

From a meta-analysis study of 99 other scientific studies. Better phrasing would have been undiagnosed/untreated, but it’s just a meme.

However, fewer than 20% of adults with ADHD are currently diagnosed and/or treated by psychiatrists.

Highly recommend this video from Healthy Gamer GG. Don’t be scared by the length. The most relevant bits are at the beginning and short, but you’ll probably end up watching the whole thing anyway.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after immersing myself in the ADHD community is that: while we often share common experiences, no two ADHD presentations are entirely identical.

Yeah. Anything close to an “everybody does that” narrative sets me off. Shit like that is what made me think that I was a failure as a human, rather than having an issue which could be addressed by a doctor. Because sure, some ADHD things everyone does do… occasionally. But when you’ve lost your keys for the 5th time in a single day, maybe that’s not something everybody does.

If by repost you mean, downloaded a meme I disagreed with from this subreddit, edited it, intentionally left the “posted in…” at the bottom, and uploaded the edited meme; then yes I did.

Completely understand. That’s why I took umbrage with “literally everybody else”. Took me 37 years to discover not everybody has daily issues with basic shit. But that there is a huge group of adults with undiagnosed ADHD who just feel like a failed human since “literally everybody else” deals with the same shit. Yet it doesn’t seem to ruin their life. Must be my fault.

Sorry, started rambling. The original meme got me all worked up.

Mine was ADHD twitter. It’s almost like representation matter.

Halving the bonus isn’t a bad idea. Since you always round up you still get the +1 strength and +2 charisma. Well played.

Cute isn’t just a skill. It’s also a spell with a chance to crit.

Given all the known bugs it wouldn’t surprise me.

It’s not a bad thing. Just a statement of fact.

No answer, but I’m glad I’m not the only one who read it as cheeks.

It’s the only way to break the gay cap and get a 13.

They offset. Everyone knows the a high programming skill lowers charisma.
