what not to say or do when talking to someone with adhd: a thread for teachers by someone who has severe adhd👍🏻
“you just need better time management skills” dear god PLEASE do more research on adhd
“everyone else is working fine” i hope your pillow is constantly warm and never cold. fuck you.
“you just don’t want to do the work” this is not true AT ALL. it’s not that we don’t want to, it’s just that our brain literally won’t let us sometimes. please just be patient with us it’s not hard dumbass
please don’t not let us use our 504 plan just because the rest of the class is working okay, or you think we shouldn’t need to use it. we’re trying our best, and you denying us our accommodations is literally illegal LMAO
idk how common this is but i had a teacher literally tell me i don’t have adhd, i just need to put more effort in?? what the actual fuck
“you just need to buy a planner” STOP SAYING THIS OH MY GOD IT LITERALLY DOES NOT WORK AT ALL WE WONT REMEMBER IT EVEN EXISTS
reply with more if i missed any i can’t think of any more rn👍🏻
“just focus and do your work it’s not hard” i hope your hot water runs out and you have to take a cold shower literally fuck you omfg
