I fucking hate these lists. Almost all of these are completely fucking normal. Stop trying to diagnose yourselves. There are more people who do most of things on this list than people who do none. Does that mean most people have ADHD? Fuck off!

Ah, the old Everyone does this argument.

Yes, but to what extent? How severe is it? That’s the important part that neither you nor this list touch on.

When you have 17 planners with 8 pages written in and constant sense of panic over a workload that is never done it’s def beyond the “lol I can’t pay attention sometimes too” crowd. Some people just don’t know what it’s actually like to be neurospicy.
I feel like gatekeeping stuff as a non practitioner is harmful. I know it doesn’t help my guilt when I doubt my - diagnosed and medicated - ADHD because I don’t have 17 planners with 8 pages filled it.
I think I had one around somewhere though I never touched…
