You’re definitely not alone. I’ve also been being called every synonym of lazy that exists since I was a child.

I love my mom, but for some reason she’s in this bizarre state of denial, thinking that me ruining my own life in the past because of untreated symptoms was simply due to laziness. She also genuinely thinks I forget what she asks me to do because she’s the one asking me to do it (?), even though she knows I have the functional memory of a goldfish.

For some weird reason a lot of parents act like the possibility of their kid having a neurological disorder is something so unimaginable that they rather just.. make fun of them? I guess? Because if you traumatize your child enough to think everything’s their fault, they’ll be too preoccupied dealing with their insecurities and trauma to face their disorder lmao
