My diagnosis actually said mine is low level, which i dont trust and im pretty sure I just am good at faking the test and its much worse than it looks.

My friend kind of thinks everyone just has adhd but they dont understand the level at which i have it. Like they can focus for a 16 hour workday- there’s no fucking way I could do that, I can barely do 9 and most of it is not real work either.

    I do have some friends that want to call every errant behavior some neurodivergance, and it does irk me a little, but also, in the case of ADHD (and others), the masking often makes it really hard to diagnose or even understand what’s going on under the hood for someone sometimes, so I try to give behavior like that a lot of leeway. And also always encourage people to get evaluated. I’m also also just starting to come to terms with I’m pretty sure my mother has ADHD and is really good at masking.
