I was diagnosed at around 6 years old. Everyone from family to friends to work colleges don't seem to really understand what it means, even when it's plainly explained to them.

I say I can't concentrate and people are like "yeah that happens to me too, I just get over it." and then get frustrated that I can't just choose what to focus on. Like, buddy, I just told you. Do you think I'm making shit up? Do you think I enjoy this? Do you really think this self-help book telling me to drink kombucha is really going to 'cure' me?

I'm not a damn disease.
