How is clarifying the difference between normal things that people do and a disorder where it happens far more frequently and impacts their lives gatekeeping?
Well, you're keeping the gate in a direct sense. Not all gatekeeping is undesirable to all people.
The usage of gatekeeping in this context is always negative.
Maybe gatekeeping isn't a positive thing to spend your energy on.
Maybe you don't know what the word gatekeeping means.
Go have ADHD and be happy. Why would someone need to judge others about their lives to qualify their own? ADHD isn’t a relative term.
Guess disorder is a meaningless term then.
How is this post judging anyone else? It’s about other people who don’t understand ADHD judging us and basically saying that we don’t have this disorder we have.
