Ā How to explain that caffeine does absolutely nothing for me bc I have low functioning ADD without mentioning that I would probably be okay even doing cocaine/ meth bc people always look at me funnyā¦
hello this is your admin here, i was gonna delete this due to the functioning labels used but decided its a good chance to Share A Lesson with you all
functioning labels donāt mean anything!! there is no such thing as a low or high functioning disorder. this goes for adhd, autism, anxiety, depression, and anything else you can think of!! further, they are also actively harmful to everybody who has that disorder. to put it simply,Ā āhigh-functioningā is used to deny support.Ā ālow-functioningā is used to deny agency.Ā
iāll be linking below some sources that talk about this more in case you donāt quite get it yet or if youāre interested in learning more about it (iām pretty sure they all refer to the use of them with autistic people but it still applies to any disorder, since iām seeing this pop up more and more with non-autism things lately)
