I have ADHD and I don't use it as an excuse for why I shouldn't be expected to do my dishes or flush the toilet

    this type of shit is just straight up internalized infantilization. what else can you call this shit. It's like you're putting on a show for NTs and saying 'look at me look at me I'm a little baby who can't do anything just like the stereotypes' for post ad hoc justification of living with the bare minimum of effort.

    The act doesn't work. They'll kill you if they conceive of you as 'parasitic'. Stop offshoring basic responsibility for things that are actually trivial onto your intrinsic qualities as an excuse and grow the fuck up.

      Imagine if a Jewish capitalist invoked the JQ to justify exploitation. That's how you sound. You're normalizing harmful rhetoric against a marginalized group that you are a part of in order to dodge responsibility. Once again, grow the fuck up and fucking try to function. I know it's hard. It's unfair. You deserve a level of basic accommodation that will allow you to function normally otherwise. But it is still your responsibility to grasp that window of accommodation to become that functioning member of society. You are not an invalid. You have ADHD. You can flush your poop. I shouldn't be having to talk to you like you're a child, and you shouldn't be acting like a child. Get your fucking act together.

        You think we fucking don't?

        The flushing the toilet thing is completely ridiculous, but what you're saying would apply to anyone with developmental disabilities struggling with anything NTs consider basic or easy.

        For example brushing my teeth is hard for me, it's sensory hell, and when something is unpleasant I just end up forgetting to do it most of the time. I've formed habits doing it daily for months at a time, but if I forget to do it even once I can completely drop off and not even realize for weeks to months.
