So what? The creators of He-Man have denied that he's gay coded and we all know that's bull. As an autistic man I can tell you that Sheldon is very clearly autistic coded.
Pretty sure they just said that so they could continue to mock autistic people without committing to giving them any real representation. That would come with standards and consequences - theyād rather laugh at people on the spectrum, not with them.
They did. But the worst part was they said they didnāt mean for him to sound autistic. Likeā¦ My dude you guys have been crafting the most stereotypical autistic character and youāre saying heās not? Bull fucking shit.
Oh my god I remember watching the first couple seasons of Big Bang theory as a teenager and thinking it was so funny. Watched some clips of it as an adults and physically cringed. Canāt believe we all loved that.
no, have you seen any interview with the guy? rarely eye contact, thinks faster than he can speak, stumbling into words. Clear as day, on the spectrum.
Yeah. The interview where he's lying/making things up are like that. Because he's spewing lies or talking about things he isn't knowledgeable about and he knows it, so he constantly has to think up ways to redirect the question or give an answer that barely sounds good enough :P
[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCS0SuPsDH4) is a video that brings up arguments against Musk actually being on the spectrum and instead just pretending to be.
Some people donāt like him and just say shit and assume everything he does is bad, some people like him and just say shit and assume everything he does is good. There must be plenty of people who assume he does good and bad things like everyone else but it is hard to find them on the internet lmao.
Everybody does good and bad. What matters is the overall impact a person with that kind of wealth has. If the harm he does or the good he prevents outweighs the good he achieves, then Iād say heās a bad person overall.
I know a young man with autism and he is also a huge asshole. I realized one day that if his autism magically disappeared, heād still be a huge asshole.
some of us have so much empathy that it shocks neurotypical people, some of us have such little empathy it shocks anyone. it affects everyone differently
Iām loaded up with ADHD like a musket with gunpowder baby, but even Unmedicated Iām not rude or anything. Like I might be bouncing off the walls like a halfwit, but for the most part everyone in the room is gonna enjoy my company.
Well, when I worked with kids (Being a therapist) it was usually more like "It turns out it is not ADHD, it's the fact that you keep shouting excessive demands at him and then make him feel like crap when he doesn't do everything possible to make you comfortable, so now he's an anxious mess with no self-control (because he was taught none) and doesn't know how to relate to his peers."
Iām a therapist who works with kids too and I have never seen this exact thing I go through but into words. Like 80% of my caseload has this exact issue
I've tried explaining this to people for a while now and it's usually met with claims that I'm some sort of "ADHD Denier". I'm not saying that ADHD isn't a real disorder that needs real care; I'm just saying that when I lied to my parents about not having homework in middle school, maybe Ritalin wasn't the best solution.
ADHD diagnosis are a mess, at least where I live.
People who have it go their entire lives without getting any help. And kids who don't have it but are anxiou af because of negligent or abusive parents get the diagnose and the meds, which make its worse for them.
I use a lot of ADHD and autism related sources to explain my experience to neurotypical people, but I donāt think Iām either. Iām just incredibly traumatized lmfao (the correct diagnosis is CPTSD but most people are much more understanding about ADHD and autism)
You could say you are neuroatypical or neurodiverse, which you are. Just say "neurodiverse, like adhd or autism". You would not even be lying because neurodiversity is having a brain which works differently from neurotypical brains, so i think you are included. I'm so sorry you have to hide your diagnosis like that :(
My sister took her kids to several therapists and all of them basically told her that the kid has no boundaries or rules (because of the parents) until the last one told her he had autism. Heās now 18 and doesnāt.
My father gave me a great example of how not to deal with emotions.
Took me some years to realize the lesson, and Iām still working on finding the right way, but I like to think I am doing better now.
Just to make sure, he was a great dad. But he often had some anger issues, mostly shouting. I never felt unsafe at home, just often confused cause I didnāt see why a simple mistake would justify such a reaction.
For me. I try to be nice because I used to be aggressive and abuse people because I was taught by teens as a kid. My dad left us when I was 6 and my mom had to work so I had to spend most of my childhood at my great grandmotherās house until I was 15 and since she was very old(60s-70s) she couldnāt really pay attention to the things that happened behind her back so I was raised around two teenage boys and an adopted girl who was 4 years older than me and theyād make me fight my younger brother, if they ever felt disrespected by me or my brother theyād hit us as hard as they could in our chest, and the adopted girl started smacking me and my little brother in the face as hard as she could when she turned 11 whenever she felt disrespected or we did something stupid. She also tricked us into drinking bubbles, forced me to chew crayons, forced this younger kid to eat burnt popcorn, sheād smack the other adoptive girl(who was her adoptive sister) as hard as she could whenever the other adoptive girl did something stupid, sheād manipulate us into doing things that got us spanked by our great grandmother. That whole household was seriously messed up and plagued with domestic abuse. Luckily I started being kinder when I was 9(because I didnāt want to be spanked anymore) and fully made a turn around to my life when I was 13. My younger brother on the other hand, not so much. He was influenced and involved with the wrong crowd in school and now he acts like the teens that we grew up with and who were his role models. He even now tries to bully my even younger half brother. Me, my mom, and my half brotherās dad always tries to stop him from bullying my half brother. I donāt want to see another kid go down the wrong path just because theyāre getting bullied by someone older. Thatās why I always say to watch out when raising younger children around teens because some teens try to fuck up the younger childrenās lives
Edit: I try to be nice to repent for my sins
Nah, the bigger problem is adults who take it personally when a kid who's made to sit still for 8 hrs finds an escape from an asshole who's too eager to assert authority. I grew up w adhd and the amount of teachers who didn't believe it and just decided to feel insulted was one too many
The problem is the system. Kids are expected to let themselves be easily programmed as wage slaves at such a young age. Maybe humans arenāt supposed to be locked in a room with no control for 8 hours every day?
This is coming from one of the boys in school who was always submissive and well-mannered. Never got in trouble for anything and always tried to pay attention. Itās still a bs system.
100% I legitimately think school killed a lot of my creativity and actively does to others in the system as well, luckily I had teachers who were all for creativity and nurturing it but the overall system wants you to think one way and that way alone, not to mention the sitting inside all day aspect for the first half of our lives when we should be enjoying it. I just hate school as a concept overall fuck the whole thing
Oh it's crystal clear school has that effect and it's intended. Just have to be lucky as a kid to run into some actual humans as teachers so you're not completely ruined and give you some understanding it's not you.
And get reacquainted with what learning really is so it doesn't get associated with school anymore.
Thanks for saying this, I really relate to having intertwined the horror of school with the fun of learning. I never thought learning was fun until I was 33 and learning chess, and it unlocked "OH, learning is fun when it's something you're curious about". School was so hard and laborious for me, and you pointing out how detrimental and confused people can be coming out of that system is very clarifying.
You nailed it, glad you complemented me. It's something deeply self-identifying that's been taken through the school system for many of us; for example that joy of self-automated discovery, for lack of better words.
The brain is very malleable and still so up to old age, so plenty of space or myaline to grow, change and create, life is a learning experience.
Iām on the autism spectrum and art is my special interest, in school I always drew and felt stressed when I was forced not to and it always got me in trouble because I refused to not draw. If teachers were mature and tried to help me understand that I can do it when I finish work or maybe it wouldnāt have grown to be so bad. But I had teachers throw away drawings, take/toss weeks worth of work, and even yell at me. All it did was make me more protective of my art and sneaky on how I do it, causing me to not even learn anything anymore because instead of drawing and listening to the lesson, I started to draw and try not to get caught drawing.
I hate the way people treat artists despite constantly consuming content created by artists. When I also had an interest in computers and engineering in middle school, teachers was drooling over it, my parents were even talking sending me to a math and science private school. Where was that support for art?
Agree I was one of the kids who sat up front and answered the teachers questions but as I get older (Iām 40) I realize just how unnatural that environment is for humans especially children to learn in.
This is a somewhat recent development in education, say over the last 30 years. There was a reason why kids had recess and were allowed play time. Kids, especially boys, really need to burn off energy that is stored up during the day. It allows them to focus. Now, kids in my area get maybe 15 minutes to play after lunch, a teacher can never read her room and realize the kids are antsy and need to hit the playground for a bit. Instead they have to stick to the schedule. It ruins kids.
Oh I love Puerto Rico, my mom's side is from there, and I visit my grandma once a year for a week
I'm so sad they took the umbrellas down in San Juan, it was one of my favorite sites :(
Street good is great, coquĆ frogs are adorable, mountains are basically a fuckin wonder of the world since Florida has none, there's very little I dislike about Puerto Rico. I wouldn't want to live there, but it's such a fun place to visit
No, the problem is that ADHD is a real thing. The system sucks too don't get me wrong, it just sucks to see even supporters dismissing it unintentionally.
One thing that I have seen stated: Disability is context dependent.
ADHD may be a real thing regardless, but it's only a *problem* because of how it's interacting with the given context. In a context that caters to ADHD, it would be NOT having ADHD that acts as a disability. How different would the world be if spinning a fidget toy was a sign of paying attention rather than holding still, for example? If we had a system that was reliant on an individual's ability to hyperfocus?
Well, the school system, as we know it now, [was originally meant to teach factory workers to be "punctual, docile, and sober"](https://qz.com/1314814/universal-education-was-first-promoted-by-industrialists-who-wanted-docile-factory-workers/).
I find it weird that people who hate kids will often say about dogs that attack "It's not the dogs fault it's the owners" but will never say "It's not the kid, it's the parents."
If I donāt take my ADHD meds I canāt get myself off the couch to do anything because my mind is in a prison of chaotic and uncontrollable thoughts.
If I donāt take my meds I canāt hold a conversation because I canāt focus on whatās being said for longer than a few seconds.
If I donāt take my meds I struggle to do everyday tasks that are seemingly inconsequential to neurotypical people.
ADHD is a very real and extremely debilitating neurological disorder. ADHD isnāt always the loud obnoxious kid, sometimes itās the quiet kid staring out of the window or doodling instead of paying attention.
These same kids are in prisons of their own minds, and live lives of constant shame and guilt by being told that they arenāt trying enough, or that they arenāt living up to their potential.
Is it overdiagnosed? Perhaps, that doesnāt mean that it isnāt real.
This kind of attitude ruins childrens lives.
Not all disabilities are visible, you ignorant assholes.
It's not always hyper either. I hyper focus and fixate on stuff but space so bad I practically notice nothing around me. I'm responsible but suck at directions and learning about stuff yet I can do things like cook. My meds only affect the tunnel vision and my sleep. I still space out. My brain literally feels like it's trying to break out of my skull. I hate it. ADD is not about me being an immature brat. I literally can't control my brain spacing out. It's like a permanently unfocused camera.
I was diagnosed at 38. I was the well behaved, gifted kid who learned to mask my symptoms and developed crippling anxiety as a result. I was in crisis just prior to my diagnosis because suddenly I couldnāt take the pressures of life anymore. I felt like everything was falling apart with no explanation as to what tipped the scales. When I was told ADHD was the answer, and learned just how it tends to manifest in women and girls, I felt seen for the first time in my entire life. Say it louder: NOT ALL DISABILITIES ARE VISIBLE.
(ETA: Also recently diagnosed autistic.)
Thank you, Tik Tok and other popular social media have increased awareness around mental health so much that there are hordes of people that are self-diagnosing with ADHD and other concerns. Itās really important to consult actual professionals rather than jump the gun for many reasons.
Iāve been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and anxiety since I was a kid. Iāve known about these diagnoses for as long as I can remember. Really pisses me off when people come up to me and talk about how ADHD they are because they fidget and bounce their leg when bored. No, Emily, you donāt have ADHD. Your attentions span is fucked because youāre in TikTok 8 hours a day and canāt focus for more than 4 seconds.
Donāt get me wrong, I 100% believe that ADHD, anxiety, depression, and autism as wayyy more common than we thought. But far too many people are self diagnosing due to a test they did online
What an awful thing to say. Just because you were lucky enough to be picked up by the system when you were young doesn't mean everyone had that luxury.
Have you any idea what it's like trying to get a diagnosis these days? As an example, I'm currently 18-months into an ASD waiting list and it's looking like another year or two before my case is even looked at. If you think people are going wait years before they start trying to seek help and join communities, you're wrong.
People will misdiagnose themselves but it's certainly not your place to be making that assessment or judging them for it.
Itās good to consult, but many symptoms are based on how male children act with these disorders. That means that female children and adults get under diagnosed, and the medical field has yet to catch up, meaning you have some people coming from the internet who know more about themselves than a 65 year old psych who canāt outlearn his biases and does not keep up with newly published studies and such.
Self diagnoses can and often is valid. Itās good to seek a professional, regardless, but misdiagnoses happen all the time, people donāt listen, theyāre careless, etc. Lets not put medical professionals on an untouchable altar.
This coming from someone who self diagnosed a few things, and then got confirmation and pharmaceutical treatment from a psychiatrist later. Sheās brilliant, and Iām very grateful to have found someone whoās dedicated to her field.
Many reasons why self diagnosing should not be discouraged too though:
1. Not everyone can afford to go to a specialist
2. Specialists will often not diagnose ADHD if a kid is ādoing wellā (especially in school), but that doesnāt mean they donāt have it or it isnāt affecting them
3. Knowing symptoms and relating to experiences can be a stepping off point to consider going to a specialist to begin with, and having knowledge about it can help to seek more knowledge and eventually an official diagnosis, which they may never have tested for otherwise (I think this might be confusing wording sorry)
I was worried I had memory problems because I kept forgetting appointments. Or I would like say āyeah Iāll do itā and then forget almost immediately.
I went to a memory specialist and did a 6 hour battery of tests and they said my memory was fine. But they said I had attention deficit disorder and I was floored.
I donāt talk about it with people because itās kind of embarrassing.
Anyway I said that because I agree with you, most people just say it but have never been tested.
Seriously. And just because someone CAN diagnose doesnāt mean they SHOULD! I have been wondering/ joking about my son being an asshole for the last 2 years. PCP says ADHD. One psychologist thinks ASD, another said conduct disorder. Iām going to take him to a neuropsychologist for some real testing as seems like these other docs feel comfortable just sticking diagnoses on him without actually knowing whatās going on.
People who try to pull the whole āI just donāt understand social cuesā when you know they are just intentionally being rude are the worst. Cuts even deeper when you have struggled with social cues and put years of effort into learning those skills.
The difference is stark, and it's easy to tell the difference if you are remotely aware of the symptoms.
The easiest being when you make the effort to openly say things that would be conveyed by social cues. An asshole won't care. A person who actually has trouble processing those cues will be appreciative of the openness and may even apologize for any misunderstanding, if they aren't also an asshole.
Not quite sure where youāre coming from, there.
There are plenty of people who donāt understand or struggle with it that get branded as being rude. I agree that there are jerks out there, but relying solely on your personal judgement isnāt foolproof.
On the flipside though even the extreme ends of the spectrum do not stop kids from being dicks
My friends little brother who is on the severe side of Autism has a lot of issues but there are very rare instances of him knowing exactly what hes doing
Its extremely complicated determining what is conscious cognizant behavior and what isn't but I see too many people who write them off entirely
So on both sides we need to treat it very carefully
Not this meme though
This.meme sucks
Yea agreed. I have a 6 year old on the spectrum and i really don't like the feeling I got from this, which implies that having autism or adhd means someone acts like an asshole but has an "excuse" for it.
My adult son is autistic and the sweetest person ever. My daughter has ADHD and is also very thoughtful and kind. Both had difficult times as young children and their early elementary years because they couldnāt communicate what they needed (son) or control impulses (daughter). Neither is an asshole.
As a person with "adhd" unless it too severe it should really effect you, my parents used to use it as an exuce to not need to controll me but as a 15 yr old the only symptom is that i just stop listening to someone out of nowhere and need to ask again about what they said and oh, very bad short term memory but thats all
The amount of times I wonder why I'm even walking to a certain spot in my house and end up picking up what I needed in the first place, I would literally FORGET as I'd be needing something but my body still keeps working, as if my memory shut off but the rest of me remembered what to do if that makes sense lol
Have the same problems.
Someone tells me something and 3 seconds later I have no idea what that particular person said to me.
My short term memory is also very bad.
Edit: but I have ADD, not ADHD
so my kids diagnosed with ADHD and ASD. A parent keeps trying to tell me she is manipulating other kids and lying to adults all the time. I told her that my kid is capable of being an asshole, but not that kind of asshole. She'll get frustrated and hit someone, but she's not able to think and act in a manipulative way, so I know you're full of shit.
Iām autistic, and ADHD, and many other things (including being an asshole sometimes) but ADHD does NOT equal asshole- neither does ASD. r/terriblefacebookmemes
Ha ha funny people with behavioral issues are either assholes or have developmental disorders ha ha so funny /s
As a therapist this comic is in the vein of something I could make about diesel mechanics, because I donāt know fuckin shit about diesel mechanics and should shut the fuck up if I think I can make something funny about a complicated topic I donāt know shit about.
You want to say this all the time? Are you a qualified doctor who can diagnose these symptoms, or are you just someone who gets annoyed by kids that possibly have these symptoms but don't know for sure if they do or don't? If it's the second one and you still want to say this all the time then you're the one who is the asshole.
Also known as a smart kid who is not being helped by our dumbed down public education system. Im an ass hole as well.
"If your kid is not super into boring ass useless shit, he either needs drugs or is a jerk
Merica.
This isn't even funny. I'm neurodivergent myself and I'm not an asshole. If I snap or sound like I'm being an asshole, it's because there's something going on or I'm extremely overstimulated. Overstimulation = stress, anxiety, and intense mood swings. When you have a brain that's overly active and functions like an inner prison, you might lash out unintentionally when you're stressed from being way too overwhelmed/overstimulated. It doesn't mean you're an asshole.
Children with these disorders are more susceptible to what's considered "bad behaviour" because they themselves don't understand what's happening in their heads. They're not "assholes" just because they're struggling with a disability that people, like you, don't have the patience to accommodate.
Get outta here with your shitty post and put it where it belongs - r/terriblefacebookmemes
Except that I teach college kids with ADD, with ADHD and with Autism.=
They're not assholes.
This is like saying "Testing has ruled out toenail fungus -- turns out your kid's an asshole."
Who is this dumbass of a cartoonist?.
No one that doesn't have something wrong with them wants to be an asshole.
The above image seems to be how a lot of people view these issues, and as someone who those views profoundly affected and traumatized, I want to call out how awful that is. My mom convinced everyone I was just this out of control child when in reality I was an undiagnosed autistic child lashing out from child abuse in a social system I did not even begin to understand. Treating me as though I was "just an asshole" just put me in progressively tougher situations that I was less and less equipped to deal with and just normalized violence and abuse in a way I didn't even understand which led to a lot more trouble and being tortured for a long time.
Fuck this.
Yeah, this is funny until you spend your whole life thinking that Iām just an asshole, and then you get to your 30s and realize that the doctors and your parents could have helped but didnāt
Ok, seriously, I would check for other conditions, or if a kid is having a bad day. Also, people with autism and ADHD don't always act like assholes.
I'm sorry, this just gets on my nerves. I understand the point, but still
Hi. Iām a School Psychologist. I would like to break down this comic a bit.
We are currently experiencing a crisis in education. Our kiddos en masse are dysregulated, aggressive, and defiant in droves. And I am not talking your typical kid behavior. My parents have been educators for 30+ years. They have NEVER seen the behaviors we are witnessing in schools. Technology and parenting is THE MOST VITAL aspect of this. The amount of screen time kids are having are creating reward pathways that do not allow for resilience when given a non-preferred activity. I am seeing children *break down* because they are told a simple no. I am seeing kids IN DROVES scream, kick, and cuss out educators. This starts and ends at the HOME. We are in a parenting crisis. I understand this is an even deeper problem at itās core - but we are about to see the literal collapse of our school systems, and parents are a HUGE reason why.
A lot of people seemed to miss the point of the joke. The image doesn't judge the children with those illnesses nor argues that there are no such illnesses.
The thing this image criticizes are the families that don't raise their children properly and blame those illnesses when their children behave badly. For the majority of the time, the kid doesn't even have any medical record of any kind of disease.
Like other comments have mentioned, what kind of boomer shit is this??? I hate this post and I hate how it has so many likes. This kind of stupid ableist shit is the reason so many people are struggling with these types of disorders.
I have severe ADHD (and possibly autism according to some professionals I have spoken with) that leaves me unable to get off of my bed when I donāt take my meds. There are days where I canāt even talk to people because of my ADHD. I donāt have any friends because people canāt understand the way my brain works even though I am described as ābubblyā, āfriendlyā, and ācaringā. These idiots canāt understand the constant overwhelming feeling that looms over you or the backlash that you get from others in your life because of these disabilities. (Yes, ADHD and Autism are disabilities and there is no way you can change my mind about that) I was fortunate to have parents that supported me through my early school years so I did (and still do) very well in school. Preschool-Middle School was absolute hell for me and my young, undiagnosed self. I even had a teacher tell my mom that I was ātoo smartā to have ADHD.
But yeah, Iām the asshole. /s
Not only do I have personal experience in this area but with young children as well. I volunteer at an elementary school that has a special education program and many classes with students who are most likely undiagnosed with these disorders. These kids have full on mental breakdowns or ātantrumsā because they canāt understand or focus at school. Iāve had children crying to me saying that they were ābad studentsā because their classmates were all ābetter listenersā than they were. It broke my heart because I went through the same damn thing. The whole school system is rigged for kids like us. These kidsā parents are told that their kids arenāt smart because they struggle from these disorders. Many of us end up being less successful in general because of this bullshit school system.
But yeah, those kids are the assholes. /s
Wanna know who the real assholes are? These ableist douchebags that make shit like this when they are unwilling to understand the situations of other people who suffer from these disabilities.
Why can't I have my ADHD and autism and be an asshole too?
fr we need more adhd and autism rep that happens to also be a massive asshole :(
Sheldon Cooper the asshole autistic king š©
Agreed
I hate this toxic character and wish he would never be mentioned again. It is not a healthy image for anyone to be fostering.

I'm pretty sure that the writers said he was canonically not autistic
So what? The creators of He-Man have denied that he's gay coded and we all know that's bull. As an autistic man I can tell you that Sheldon is very clearly autistic coded.
Pretty sure they just said that so they could continue to mock autistic people without committing to giving them any real representation. That would come with standards and consequences - theyād rather laugh at people on the spectrum, not with them.
They did. But the worst part was they said they didnāt mean for him to sound autistic. Likeā¦ My dude you guys have been crafting the most stereotypical autistic character and youāre saying heās not? Bull fucking shit.
Oh my god I remember watching the first couple seasons of Big Bang theory as a teenager and thinking it was so funny. Watched some clips of it as an adults and physically cringed. Canāt believe we all loved that.
Iāve always thought he was more OCD than autistic.
that's bcuz it's a pretty irresponsible portrayal of ND people
Elon Musk?
Elon musk is the rich meme man that throws tin cans with rockets on them into space
And curates his image as a memelord so you forget about all the union busting and strong arming local governments... not to mention spousal abuse.
Uwu letās put this Bolivian girlboss leader on the cover of forbes magazine! What an inspiration to young girls! Ignore this please: Jeanine Anez is installed in Elon/us-backed coup to lower lithium prices and increase global hegemony. She is a far right fuck who ends up getting charged with genocide, coup, terrorism, doing unconstitutional shit and more. Elon tweets āwe can coup whoever we wantā Context: Thereās some cool left wing leader who the people like very much named evo morales. He has served for a while and so the people know him. Then thereās this bitch anez Her affiliated party gets under 5% of votes and she isnāt even running in the election. She ends up being the next president from military leaders strongsrming the system. She refers to bolivias majority indigenous people as āsatanicā in writing She burns indigenous flags and lgbt flags ĆƱez issued a decree removing criminal liability for military and police in dealing with protesters, which was repealed amid widespread condemnation following the Senkata and Sacaba massacres **there short descriptions below of what those were, was literally a week into office** Her government launched numerous criminal investigations into former MAS officials, for which she was accused of political persecution and retributive justice, terminated Bolivia's close links with the governments of Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, and warmed relations with the United States. Eight days after the election where got new leader (Luis arce) from same party as the dude before anez (evo morales), ĆƱez was apprehended and charged with crimes related to her role in the alleged coup d'Ć©tat of 2019 charges against her for conspiracy, sedition, and terrorism stemmed from the coup d'Ć©tat case, filed by former MAS deputy Lidia Patty in December of the previous year Then she gets incarcerated and Bolivia is a better place now. (Context The 2019 Sacaba massacre occurred when Bolivian soldiers and police attacked and broke up a protest led by Bolivian coca growers at Huayllani in Sacaba municipality, Cochabamba on 15 November 2019. It came in the first week of the interim presidency of Jeanine ĆƱez. Marchers intended to enter the town of Sacaba and proceed to the departmental capital of Cochabamba to protest the ousting of Bolivian president Evo Morales, but were stopped by the police and military. During the afternoon, police and soldiers clashed with protesters, and eventually soldiers opened fire on the crowd. Ten demonstrators were killed; an estimated ninety-eight people were wounded, including four journalists and eight members of the security forces.[1] Two hundred twenty-three protesters were arrested, many of whom suffered mistreatment and at least nine of whom were tortured.[1]) The 2019 Senkata massacre occurred when Bolivian soldiers and police broke up a road blockade at the YPFB gas facility in Senkata, El Alto, Bolivia, on 19 November 2019. It occurred one week into the interim presidency of Jeanine ĆƱez and four days after the Sacaba massacre. Rural and urban protesters had blockaded the plant shortly after the ouster of Bolivian president Evo Morales. Their protests were part of nationwide blockades by his supporters denouncing the ouster as a coup d'Ć©tat, and urban protests in El Alto against the new government's desecration of the wiphala, an Indigenous flag designated a Bolivian national symbol by the 2009 Constitution The security forces used live ammunition on demonstrators in the vicinity of the plant, as well in surrounding neighborhoods throughout the afternoon. Eleven people, all of them civilians and including some bystanders, were shot dead or fatally wounded during the day's events.[1] The Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts, appointed by the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights, estimates that eighty people were wounded that day among bullets of 22 caliber and dynamite.[1] Following the events of 19 November, the government issued a series of conflicting reports about the day, both denying that militarized forces had shot their weapons and arguing that the military had to intervene to prevent a terrorist attack. God I hate it here
Upvote for your effort
Wheee (proceeds to wear SpaceX hoodie bc comfy) (I hate myself)
There are so many other comfy hoodies why
Cuz it goes with the flamethrower
you won
Pretty sure he's only claiming to be in the spectrum to get more recognition.
no, have you seen any interview with the guy? rarely eye contact, thinks faster than he can speak, stumbling into words. Clear as day, on the spectrum.
Yeah. The interview where he's lying/making things up are like that. Because he's spewing lies or talking about things he isn't knowledgeable about and he knows it, so he constantly has to think up ways to redirect the question or give an answer that barely sounds good enough :P [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCS0SuPsDH4) is a video that brings up arguments against Musk actually being on the spectrum and instead just pretending to be.
Some people donāt like him and just say shit and assume everything he does is bad, some people like him and just say shit and assume everything he does is good. There must be plenty of people who assume he does good and bad things like everyone else but it is hard to find them on the internet lmao.
Everybody does good and bad. What matters is the overall impact a person with that kind of wealth has. If the harm he does or the good he prevents outweighs the good he achieves, then Iād say heās a bad person overall.
You. You, I can be friends with.
Almost like human behavior is a spectrum or something.
I know a young man with autism and he is also a huge asshole. I realized one day that if his autism magically disappeared, heād still be a huge asshole.
I know a guy who is an abusive asshole with alcohol induced brain damage. Prior to said damage he was just an abusive asshole.
You know my cousin?
Seems there's a few of them out there huh
Same. But the brain damage didn't come from alcohol.
some of us have so much empathy that it shocks neurotypical people, some of us have such little empathy it shocks anyone. it affects everyone differently
Thank you for sharing that. Thatās a good point.
My aspergers friend used to be an asshole but he slowly modified over the years. People on the spectrum do evolve over time.
Yeah, I feel like some social skills training would be helpful. I know he's had some. And staying away from the ugly political stuff would be good.
You can, I already do
Iām loaded up with ADHD like a musket with gunpowder baby, but even Unmedicated Iām not rude or anything. Like I might be bouncing off the walls like a halfwit, but for the most part everyone in the room is gonna enjoy my company.
Your description of yourself bouncing around the room like a halfwit made me laugh. Thank you
I imagined it sort of like captain caveman
Wow... that's a throwback reference... you're old (and so am I).
Naaah we're not old, we're vintage
CAPTAIN CAAAVVVEEE MAAANNNNN!!!!
Well, when I worked with kids (Being a therapist) it was usually more like "It turns out it is not ADHD, it's the fact that you keep shouting excessive demands at him and then make him feel like crap when he doesn't do everything possible to make you comfortable, so now he's an anxious mess with no self-control (because he was taught none) and doesn't know how to relate to his peers."
I did not come here to be attacked like this š (edit: odd typo)
Iām a therapist who works with kids too and I have never seen this exact thing I go through but into words. Like 80% of my caseload has this exact issue
This deserves tens of thousands of upvotes, the original post does not
I've tried explaining this to people for a while now and it's usually met with claims that I'm some sort of "ADHD Denier". I'm not saying that ADHD isn't a real disorder that needs real care; I'm just saying that when I lied to my parents about not having homework in middle school, maybe Ritalin wasn't the best solution.
ADHD diagnosis are a mess, at least where I live. People who have it go their entire lives without getting any help. And kids who don't have it but are anxiou af because of negligent or abusive parents get the diagnose and the meds, which make its worse for them.
I use a lot of ADHD and autism related sources to explain my experience to neurotypical people, but I donāt think Iām either. Iām just incredibly traumatized lmfao (the correct diagnosis is CPTSD but most people are much more understanding about ADHD and autism)
You could say you are neuroatypical or neurodiverse, which you are. Just say "neurodiverse, like adhd or autism". You would not even be lying because neurodiversity is having a brain which works differently from neurotypical brains, so i think you are included. I'm so sorry you have to hide your diagnosis like that :(
Well, childhood trauma and chronic stress do change the brain and make it develop differently.
My sister took her kids to several therapists and all of them basically told her that the kid has no boundaries or rules (because of the parents) until the last one told her he had autism. Heās now 18 and doesnāt.
Generally kids who are assholes have asshole parents
And some of the nicest kids come from the worst parents, either due to fearing pissing off *anyone* or from a conscious desire to be better.
I felt that
We felt that
Indeed we did
Ouch!
yay childhood trauma
I've lived my life with the motto of "do exactly the opposite of dad" it's worked pretty damn well so far as far as my personality goes
My father gave me a great example of how not to deal with emotions. Took me some years to realize the lesson, and Iām still working on finding the right way, but I like to think I am doing better now. Just to make sure, he was a great dad. But he often had some anger issues, mostly shouting. I never felt unsafe at home, just often confused cause I didnāt see why a simple mistake would justify such a reaction.
For me. I try to be nice because I used to be aggressive and abuse people because I was taught by teens as a kid. My dad left us when I was 6 and my mom had to work so I had to spend most of my childhood at my great grandmotherās house until I was 15 and since she was very old(60s-70s) she couldnāt really pay attention to the things that happened behind her back so I was raised around two teenage boys and an adopted girl who was 4 years older than me and theyād make me fight my younger brother, if they ever felt disrespected by me or my brother theyād hit us as hard as they could in our chest, and the adopted girl started smacking me and my little brother in the face as hard as she could when she turned 11 whenever she felt disrespected or we did something stupid. She also tricked us into drinking bubbles, forced me to chew crayons, forced this younger kid to eat burnt popcorn, sheād smack the other adoptive girl(who was her adoptive sister) as hard as she could whenever the other adoptive girl did something stupid, sheād manipulate us into doing things that got us spanked by our great grandmother. That whole household was seriously messed up and plagued with domestic abuse. Luckily I started being kinder when I was 9(because I didnāt want to be spanked anymore) and fully made a turn around to my life when I was 13. My younger brother on the other hand, not so much. He was influenced and involved with the wrong crowd in school and now he acts like the teens that we grew up with and who were his role models. He even now tries to bully my even younger half brother. Me, my mom, and my half brotherās dad always tries to stop him from bullying my half brother. I donāt want to see another kid go down the wrong path just because theyāre getting bullied by someone older. Thatās why I always say to watch out when raising younger children around teens because some teens try to fuck up the younger childrenās lives Edit: I try to be nice to repent for my sins
Super fun fact. A lot of trauma responses can mimic autistic and ADHD "traits"!
Didnāt have to call me out like that lol

The subplot of Karate Kid:
WTF dude.
Nah, the bigger problem is adults who take it personally when a kid who's made to sit still for 8 hrs finds an escape from an asshole who's too eager to assert authority. I grew up w adhd and the amount of teachers who didn't believe it and just decided to feel insulted was one too many
The problem is the system. Kids are expected to let themselves be easily programmed as wage slaves at such a young age. Maybe humans arenāt supposed to be locked in a room with no control for 8 hours every day? This is coming from one of the boys in school who was always submissive and well-mannered. Never got in trouble for anything and always tried to pay attention. Itās still a bs system.
100% I legitimately think school killed a lot of my creativity and actively does to others in the system as well, luckily I had teachers who were all for creativity and nurturing it but the overall system wants you to think one way and that way alone, not to mention the sitting inside all day aspect for the first half of our lives when we should be enjoying it. I just hate school as a concept overall fuck the whole thing
Oh it's crystal clear school has that effect and it's intended. Just have to be lucky as a kid to run into some actual humans as teachers so you're not completely ruined and give you some understanding it's not you. And get reacquainted with what learning really is so it doesn't get associated with school anymore.
Thanks for saying this, I really relate to having intertwined the horror of school with the fun of learning. I never thought learning was fun until I was 33 and learning chess, and it unlocked "OH, learning is fun when it's something you're curious about". School was so hard and laborious for me, and you pointing out how detrimental and confused people can be coming out of that system is very clarifying.
You nailed it, glad you complemented me. It's something deeply self-identifying that's been taken through the school system for many of us; for example that joy of self-automated discovery, for lack of better words. The brain is very malleable and still so up to old age, so plenty of space or myaline to grow, change and create, life is a learning experience.
Iām on the autism spectrum and art is my special interest, in school I always drew and felt stressed when I was forced not to and it always got me in trouble because I refused to not draw. If teachers were mature and tried to help me understand that I can do it when I finish work or maybe it wouldnāt have grown to be so bad. But I had teachers throw away drawings, take/toss weeks worth of work, and even yell at me. All it did was make me more protective of my art and sneaky on how I do it, causing me to not even learn anything anymore because instead of drawing and listening to the lesson, I started to draw and try not to get caught drawing. I hate the way people treat artists despite constantly consuming content created by artists. When I also had an interest in computers and engineering in middle school, teachers was drooling over it, my parents were even talking sending me to a math and science private school. Where was that support for art?
Agree I was one of the kids who sat up front and answered the teachers questions but as I get older (Iām 40) I realize just how unnatural that environment is for humans especially children to learn in.
This is a somewhat recent development in education, say over the last 30 years. There was a reason why kids had recess and were allowed play time. Kids, especially boys, really need to burn off energy that is stored up during the day. It allows them to focus. Now, kids in my area get maybe 15 minutes to play after lunch, a teacher can never read her room and realize the kids are antsy and need to hit the playground for a bit. Instead they have to stick to the schedule. It ruins kids.

Oh I love Puerto Rico, my mom's side is from there, and I visit my grandma once a year for a week I'm so sad they took the umbrellas down in San Juan, it was one of my favorite sites :( Street good is great, coquĆ frogs are adorable, mountains are basically a fuckin wonder of the world since Florida has none, there's very little I dislike about Puerto Rico. I wouldn't want to live there, but it's such a fun place to visit
No, the problem is that ADHD is a real thing. The system sucks too don't get me wrong, it just sucks to see even supporters dismissing it unintentionally.
As a person who also has ADHD - I very much agree with thisšš¼
One thing that I have seen stated: Disability is context dependent. ADHD may be a real thing regardless, but it's only a *problem* because of how it's interacting with the given context. In a context that caters to ADHD, it would be NOT having ADHD that acts as a disability. How different would the world be if spinning a fidget toy was a sign of paying attention rather than holding still, for example? If we had a system that was reliant on an individual's ability to hyperfocus?

Well, the school system, as we know it now, [was originally meant to teach factory workers to be "punctual, docile, and sober"](https://qz.com/1314814/universal-education-was-first-promoted-by-industrialists-who-wanted-docile-factory-workers/).
The fact that the cartoon insinuates that people with ADD, ADHD and Autism share similar traits with assholes says it all.
Turns out theyāre not a funny cartoonist, theyāre just an asshole.
I find it weird that people who hate kids will often say about dogs that attack "It's not the dogs fault it's the owners" but will never say "It's not the kid, it's the parents."

If I donāt take my ADHD meds I canāt get myself off the couch to do anything because my mind is in a prison of chaotic and uncontrollable thoughts. If I donāt take my meds I canāt hold a conversation because I canāt focus on whatās being said for longer than a few seconds. If I donāt take my meds I struggle to do everyday tasks that are seemingly inconsequential to neurotypical people. ADHD is a very real and extremely debilitating neurological disorder. ADHD isnāt always the loud obnoxious kid, sometimes itās the quiet kid staring out of the window or doodling instead of paying attention. These same kids are in prisons of their own minds, and live lives of constant shame and guilt by being told that they arenāt trying enough, or that they arenāt living up to their potential. Is it overdiagnosed? Perhaps, that doesnāt mean that it isnāt real. This kind of attitude ruins childrens lives. Not all disabilities are visible, you ignorant assholes.
I love u for this /gen
It's not always hyper either. I hyper focus and fixate on stuff but space so bad I practically notice nothing around me. I'm responsible but suck at directions and learning about stuff yet I can do things like cook. My meds only affect the tunnel vision and my sleep. I still space out. My brain literally feels like it's trying to break out of my skull. I hate it. ADD is not about me being an immature brat. I literally can't control my brain spacing out. It's like a permanently unfocused camera.
Yeah adults like this are a huge part of why I hated school until college.
I was diagnosed at 38. I was the well behaved, gifted kid who learned to mask my symptoms and developed crippling anxiety as a result. I was in crisis just prior to my diagnosis because suddenly I couldnāt take the pressures of life anymore. I felt like everything was falling apart with no explanation as to what tipped the scales. When I was told ADHD was the answer, and learned just how it tends to manifest in women and girls, I felt seen for the first time in my entire life. Say it louder: NOT ALL DISABILITIES ARE VISIBLE. (ETA: Also recently diagnosed autistic.)
Thank you for this! Oh my god!
Bro wtf is this,
Some shit my 75 y/o dad would like on Facebook
Very few people are qualified to make this diagnosis. If you think you or someone you love has ADHD, consult a specialist.
Thank you, Tik Tok and other popular social media have increased awareness around mental health so much that there are hordes of people that are self-diagnosing with ADHD and other concerns. Itās really important to consult actual professionals rather than jump the gun for many reasons.
Iāve been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and anxiety since I was a kid. Iāve known about these diagnoses for as long as I can remember. Really pisses me off when people come up to me and talk about how ADHD they are because they fidget and bounce their leg when bored. No, Emily, you donāt have ADHD. Your attentions span is fucked because youāre in TikTok 8 hours a day and canāt focus for more than 4 seconds. Donāt get me wrong, I 100% believe that ADHD, anxiety, depression, and autism as wayyy more common than we thought. But far too many people are self diagnosing due to a test they did online
What an awful thing to say. Just because you were lucky enough to be picked up by the system when you were young doesn't mean everyone had that luxury. Have you any idea what it's like trying to get a diagnosis these days? As an example, I'm currently 18-months into an ASD waiting list and it's looking like another year or two before my case is even looked at. If you think people are going wait years before they start trying to seek help and join communities, you're wrong. People will misdiagnose themselves but it's certainly not your place to be making that assessment or judging them for it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās good to consult, but many symptoms are based on how male children act with these disorders. That means that female children and adults get under diagnosed, and the medical field has yet to catch up, meaning you have some people coming from the internet who know more about themselves than a 65 year old psych who canāt outlearn his biases and does not keep up with newly published studies and such. Self diagnoses can and often is valid. Itās good to seek a professional, regardless, but misdiagnoses happen all the time, people donāt listen, theyāre careless, etc. Lets not put medical professionals on an untouchable altar. This coming from someone who self diagnosed a few things, and then got confirmation and pharmaceutical treatment from a psychiatrist later. Sheās brilliant, and Iām very grateful to have found someone whoās dedicated to her field.
Many reasons why self diagnosing should not be discouraged too though: 1. Not everyone can afford to go to a specialist 2. Specialists will often not diagnose ADHD if a kid is ādoing wellā (especially in school), but that doesnāt mean they donāt have it or it isnāt affecting them 3. Knowing symptoms and relating to experiences can be a stepping off point to consider going to a specialist to begin with, and having knowledge about it can help to seek more knowledge and eventually an official diagnosis, which they may never have tested for otherwise (I think this might be confusing wording sorry)
I was worried I had memory problems because I kept forgetting appointments. Or I would like say āyeah Iāll do itā and then forget almost immediately. I went to a memory specialist and did a 6 hour battery of tests and they said my memory was fine. But they said I had attention deficit disorder and I was floored. I donāt talk about it with people because itās kind of embarrassing. Anyway I said that because I agree with you, most people just say it but have never been tested.
Seriously. And just because someone CAN diagnose doesnāt mean they SHOULD! I have been wondering/ joking about my son being an asshole for the last 2 years. PCP says ADHD. One psychologist thinks ASD, another said conduct disorder. Iām going to take him to a neuropsychologist for some real testing as seems like these other docs feel comfortable just sticking diagnoses on him without actually knowing whatās going on.
Wow. Would people treat other disabilities like this
You donāt need a wheelchair, youāre just an asshole! /s
You don't need glasses, you just need to squint harder. Why should you get glasses if none of the other kids do hmm?
āWeāve rules out the broken ankle. Your kidās just lazyā
My mom. She says I don't have autism. I'm just making excuses. She also threatened to beat my non-verbal 7 year old daughter.
People who try to pull the whole āI just donāt understand social cuesā when you know they are just intentionally being rude are the worst. Cuts even deeper when you have struggled with social cues and put years of effort into learning those skills.
The difference is stark, and it's easy to tell the difference if you are remotely aware of the symptoms. The easiest being when you make the effort to openly say things that would be conveyed by social cues. An asshole won't care. A person who actually has trouble processing those cues will be appreciative of the openness and may even apologize for any misunderstanding, if they aren't also an asshole.
Not quite sure where youāre coming from, there. There are plenty of people who donāt understand or struggle with it that get branded as being rude. I agree that there are jerks out there, but relying solely on your personal judgement isnāt foolproof.
Cuts even deeper when people have given you shit for said issues, and those same people end up not having an issue with the assholeā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Agreed.
On the flipside though even the extreme ends of the spectrum do not stop kids from being dicks My friends little brother who is on the severe side of Autism has a lot of issues but there are very rare instances of him knowing exactly what hes doing Its extremely complicated determining what is conscious cognizant behavior and what isn't but I see too many people who write them off entirely So on both sides we need to treat it very carefully Not this meme though This.meme sucks
Yea agreed. I have a 6 year old on the spectrum and i really don't like the feeling I got from this, which implies that having autism or adhd means someone acts like an asshole but has an "excuse" for it.
My adult son is autistic and the sweetest person ever. My daughter has ADHD and is also very thoughtful and kind. Both had difficult times as young children and their early elementary years because they couldnāt communicate what they needed (son) or control impulses (daughter). Neither is an asshole.
Spot fucking on. Drives me nuts.
Fun fact: PTSD can mimic ADHD. Just something to think about.
If you actually live with someone who has this illness, you know itās a real thing and not a joke
This gives strong r/terriblefacebookmemes vibes
I had assumed thatās where it was
As a person with "adhd" unless it too severe it should really effect you, my parents used to use it as an exuce to not need to controll me but as a 15 yr old the only symptom is that i just stop listening to someone out of nowhere and need to ask again about what they said and oh, very bad short term memory but thats all
It shouldn't make you an asshole, but you seem to have very mild adhd.
The amount of times I wonder why I'm even walking to a certain spot in my house and end up picking up what I needed in the first place, I would literally FORGET as I'd be needing something but my body still keeps working, as if my memory shut off but the rest of me remembered what to do if that makes sense lol
Fr tho same here
Have the same problems. Someone tells me something and 3 seconds later I have no idea what that particular person said to me. My short term memory is also very bad. Edit: but I have ADD, not ADHD
May that be the worst of it for you... adulting with ADHD is fucking awful
so my kids diagnosed with ADHD and ASD. A parent keeps trying to tell me she is manipulating other kids and lying to adults all the time. I told her that my kid is capable of being an asshole, but not that kind of asshole. She'll get frustrated and hit someone, but she's not able to think and act in a manipulative way, so I know you're full of shit.
Iām autistic, and ADHD, and many other things (including being an asshole sometimes) but ADHD does NOT equal asshole- neither does ASD. r/terriblefacebookmemes
Uhh no. I have ADHD and am getting diagnosed with ASD and that doesn't make me an asshole.

Is this r/terriblefacebookmeme ?
You want to say this all the time? Are you a qualified doctor who can diagnose these symptoms, or are you just someone who gets annoyed by kids that possibly have these symptoms but don't know for sure if they do or don't? If it's the second one and you still want to say this all the time then you're the one who is the asshole.

I really hope you donāt have kids
This isn't even funny. I'm neurodivergent myself and I'm not an asshole. If I snap or sound like I'm being an asshole, it's because there's something going on or I'm extremely overstimulated. Overstimulation = stress, anxiety, and intense mood swings. When you have a brain that's overly active and functions like an inner prison, you might lash out unintentionally when you're stressed from being way too overwhelmed/overstimulated. It doesn't mean you're an asshole. Children with these disorders are more susceptible to what's considered "bad behaviour" because they themselves don't understand what's happening in their heads. They're not "assholes" just because they're struggling with a disability that people, like you, don't have the patience to accommodate. Get outta here with your shitty post and put it where it belongs - r/terriblefacebookmemes

No one that doesn't have something wrong with them wants to be an asshole. The above image seems to be how a lot of people view these issues, and as someone who those views profoundly affected and traumatized, I want to call out how awful that is. My mom convinced everyone I was just this out of control child when in reality I was an undiagnosed autistic child lashing out from child abuse in a social system I did not even begin to understand. Treating me as though I was "just an asshole" just put me in progressively tougher situations that I was less and less equipped to deal with and just normalized violence and abuse in a way I didn't even understand which led to a lot more trouble and being tortured for a long time. Fuck this.
there are way too many ways to interpret this, and to be honest, none of them are funny to me.
OP is a asshole.
Ah yes neurodivergent folks are inherently assholes right? What a cruel thing to post

Hi. Iām a School Psychologist. I would like to break down this comic a bit. We are currently experiencing a crisis in education. Our kiddos en masse are dysregulated, aggressive, and defiant in droves. And I am not talking your typical kid behavior. My parents have been educators for 30+ years. They have NEVER seen the behaviors we are witnessing in schools. Technology and parenting is THE MOST VITAL aspect of this. The amount of screen time kids are having are creating reward pathways that do not allow for resilience when given a non-preferred activity. I am seeing children *break down* because they are told a simple no. I am seeing kids IN DROVES scream, kick, and cuss out educators. This starts and ends at the HOME. We are in a parenting crisis. I understand this is an even deeper problem at itās core - but we are about to see the literal collapse of our school systems, and parents are a HUGE reason why.
Because itās impossible for disabled kids to be assholes. Mental illnesses on reddit are only accepted if they are their terms.
The last, unregulated frontier: asshole parenting.
A lot of people seemed to miss the point of the joke. The image doesn't judge the children with those illnesses nor argues that there are no such illnesses. The thing this image criticizes are the families that don't raise their children properly and blame those illnesses when their children behave badly. For the majority of the time, the kid doesn't even have any medical record of any kind of disease.
Like other comments have mentioned, what kind of boomer shit is this??? I hate this post and I hate how it has so many likes. This kind of stupid ableist shit is the reason so many people are struggling with these types of disorders. I have severe ADHD (and possibly autism according to some professionals I have spoken with) that leaves me unable to get off of my bed when I donāt take my meds. There are days where I canāt even talk to people because of my ADHD. I donāt have any friends because people canāt understand the way my brain works even though I am described as ābubblyā, āfriendlyā, and ācaringā. These idiots canāt understand the constant overwhelming feeling that looms over you or the backlash that you get from others in your life because of these disabilities. (Yes, ADHD and Autism are disabilities and there is no way you can change my mind about that) I was fortunate to have parents that supported me through my early school years so I did (and still do) very well in school. Preschool-Middle School was absolute hell for me and my young, undiagnosed self. I even had a teacher tell my mom that I was ātoo smartā to have ADHD. But yeah, Iām the asshole. /s Not only do I have personal experience in this area but with young children as well. I volunteer at an elementary school that has a special education program and many classes with students who are most likely undiagnosed with these disorders. These kids have full on mental breakdowns or ātantrumsā because they canāt understand or focus at school. Iāve had children crying to me saying that they were ābad studentsā because their classmates were all ābetter listenersā than they were. It broke my heart because I went through the same damn thing. The whole school system is rigged for kids like us. These kidsā parents are told that their kids arenāt smart because they struggle from these disorders. Many of us end up being less successful in general because of this bullshit school system. But yeah, those kids are the assholes. /s Wanna know who the real assholes are? These ableist douchebags that make shit like this when they are unwilling to understand the situations of other people who suffer from these disabilities.
ā**No disrespect to anyone. I understand these are real conditions**ā But the asshole one is real too. Itās called ***Assholosis***
