    And teachers. And authority figures in general. My favorite is when psychiatrists aren’t understanding of adhd behaviors

      When I first got tested for ADHD, I forgot to put the appointment in my calendar and no-showed. The psychiatrist I met with specialized in ADHD, and I almost cried when, instead of giving me a fine like other doctors might, she simply said “a lot of my patients aren’t great with keeping appointments, it’s no problem”

        That sounds so nice. I’m currently in a wall of awful about trying to find a new adhd psychiatrist after changing insurance because I’ve been so mistreated by so many psychiatrists over the years.
