cheer up has to be one of the most rage-inducing positive thing you can say to someone i feel like everyone here has had that same type of ignorant half-assed caring given to them growing up adhd isnt something a non-adhd person can accurately simulate so theres an empathy gap there that cant really be bridged its also a trendy disorder thats often misappropriated to explain regular human behavior when you treat a legitimate disorder as a sociallearning qualifier non-afflicted people wont take it seriously austism probably has that same reaction in people although id say because of the debilitating levels of autism as compared to those with adhd those who arent as for lack of a better word afflicted by it its easier to dismiss their real issues   we just put up with a lot of ignorance about things that directly affected us as individuals so we dont give it back to each other because we know what each other is going through plus i wouldnt be surprised of theres a link between autism and adhd
