What would you have done in life if ADHD didn't get in the way?

For me, I would've been a writer.
A lot of people are saying this is negative, sad, or wrong.

My goal with this account is to normalize ADHD. Exposing the ugly truth is 100% part of that.

Toxic positivity does nothing but show neurotypicals that nothing is wrong with the way our ableist system is structured.
The people that are saying that this tweet is sad and negative are absolutely correct.

That's the point.

Look at how many people replied. They wanted to be artists, doctors, writers... but our system was built in a way that makes it difficult for them to pursue their dreams.
My original tweet and all of the replies from the ADHD community are SUPPOSED to be hard for you to read.

It sucks, doesn't it?

Imagine what our world could be if these amazing minds lived in a society that gave them the tools they needed to follow their dreams.
