bro so I went to a psychologist to get adhd meds and shit and then was bouncing my leg subconsciously and she was like “and your leg bouncing thing is helping you focus! and then the conversation went sorta like this:
me: oh cool
her:yeah, (talks about how fidgeting can be helpful for people with adhd)
me: oh yeah that’s called stimming isn’t it?
her (in a tone that sorta bothers me): well if we’re talking about AUTISM…. [starts rambling about it]
her: and either way, just because they like to do repetitive actions doesn’t mean I can’t either! like I go to the gym and repeat sets, is that stimming or getting fit?
me, now pissed off at her comparing working out to stimming: haha I guess
also she gave me MAJOR pick me vibes like she was all ‘girls say “I like your hair” and they really mean “I hate your shoes” and ‘boys are like “what the fuck are you doing bro!!” ,so much less dRaMaTiC’
anyway that was an annoying interaction but I have meds now!!
