Funny how the same people who refuse to believe gender is a social construct are now arguing that ADHD is a social construct... it's almost as if they don't know what a social construct is 🤔🤔🤔
#adhdmyth

Documentaries like the #adhdmyth, far from deconstructing damaging social constructs like neuronormativity, actually only reinforce them by blaming diet or lifestyle, the implication being that people can "overcome" the disorder, rather than encouraging an acceptance of neurodiversity as natural

Like, neuronormativity, or the idea that human brains-bodies should function in specific ways & anything that falls outside of this is "disordered" & must be treated or cured, *is* a social construct which pathologies a wide diversity of brains-bodies who don't fit those rigid norms #adhdmyth

This kind of social construct has real life implications for people, like me, who don't fit those norms, such as stigma, social exclusion, discrimination, lack of supports at home, school and work, etc. etc.

#ADHDmyth

Myth: ADHD = bad planning
Truth: ADHD disrupts follow-through, not smarts.

Build systems that fit the brain you have.

Why the delay you may ask?
