you know what’s really fucked? everyone in my life growing up knew i was neurodivergent, it was painfully obvious. My teachers knew, my parents knew, but they didn’t do anything to help me because i was still getting good grades in school, therefore i wasn’t struggling in that mattered, and i didn’t need accommodations or meds or even a diagnosis. Because they didn’t want me to be singled out or whatever (which i was anyway), and i knew there was something wrong with me, all my life i was painfully aware of it and considered myself to be broken. Because of how hard everything seemed for me while it seemed to be no struggle to people who were obviously significantly dumber than i was. Genuinely fuck this shit. And when my parents sat me down after high school graduation telling me how they were proud of me because i did it despite having adhd, it just made me want to throw up. What am i gonna do with your pride, after i’ve destroyed my life to achieve this, while you two knew and did JACK SHIT to help me. They saw me spiral, go through depression, self harm (repeatedly), and just overall struggles in every aspect of my life and not once did they decide to get me some real professional help. I don’t know. Fact is, they suck ass. And they failed me.
