Frames of reference

I might have ADHD. I might not. But as I recently started looking back at my life through an ADHD frame of reference, a whole lot of things finally made sense.
A letter to my fellow neurodivergents...
I’m sorry if you’ve grown up hearing that you’re not doing your best, that you’re just not trying hard enough. I’m sorry if you’ve grown up teaching yourself that you had to push through discomfort only to realise you still can’t do all those things your peers could. I’m sorry if you grew up knowing you were so different from everyone around you, yet you weren’t cared for like you should have been.
