Shoutout to the "gifted/talented" kids with ADHD (or other neurodiversities). to all of you whose problems got ignored because adults saw you as just smart who got told "of course you're disorganized/awkward/daydreamy/distractible/ect, that's how smart kids are sometimes" when you were able to manage it alone and who were told "you have no excuse to be disorganized/awkward/daydreamy/distractible/ect, you're too smart to do that" when you let your difficulties show To the ones who never got help and ro the ones who. To the ones who do well in school and to the ones who have low grades. To the ones with supportive parents/teachers and to the ones without. Your struggles are valid. You aren't a failure.
