my whole life i was gaslit regarding my ADHD, they said i wasn’t doing things because i couldn’t remember to do them. that i was failing at executive function, when in reality i cannot percieve the passage of time, and am extremely willful in my decisions of what i want to do.
I've had the exact same experience with my neurodivergence and attempting to fit into a neurotypical-oriented society. I've come across really bad problems with my executive function lately, and it seems that I'm on my own in it.
Nevertheless, /you/ are not alone. Please stay strong, and if you ever need an advocate, I'm here!
the more i read about executive dysfunction, the more my brain screams “this is not you, this has never been you” and now it’s a problem because all the suggestions i get center around this. i totally understand the NT “exert willpower to do a thing” reason, i just don’t get why.
