PatternChaser#ADHDers, this might be worth knowing...?
Drew Towler 🇵🇭@PatternChaser That's all very well unless, being #AuDHD, you're so awkward and uncoordinated that you get teased, bullied and always picked last.
@drewtowler IME, that stems from being autistic, but yes, it matters. It was a prominent feature of my childhood, and my life. 😐
You too, by the sound of it. 🤷
@PatternChaser Yep. And the echoes of it still fly around my brain at random intervals in the night, 40-something years later.
@drewtowler Yes, I remember one stereotypical example. They'd picked sides for football, and I was not picked. I was standing on the edge of the playground, watching. A well-meaning teacher came up to me and asked "why don't you go and join in?", as if they would let me...
Hard to bear. 😐 🤷
@drewtowler And yes, I remember it again, regularly, even now, 60+ years later. Trauma is like that... 😢
