I was telling him about all the things that starting meds made me realize were an ADHD thing and he kept getting quieter and quieter and eventually broke my heart with "you mean it's not that I'm lazy or stupid?"
One reason I'm anti-anti-labelling is that... you're going to get a label anyway even if it's not a diagnosis. It's just that the label will be "stupid" or "freak" or "lazy" or "broken" instead of, in my case, autism and ADHD.
I'm not broken. I'm not bad at being human. I'm different.
