Do you have people around you that think they have ADHD but they clearly dont, or have it at a much lower level than you? (sh.itjust.works)

My diagnosis actually said mine is low level, which i dont trust and im pretty sure I just am good at faking the test and its much worse than it looks.

My friend kind of thinks everyone just has adhd but they dont understand the level at which i have it. Like they can focus for a 16 hour workday- there's no fucking way I could do that, I can barely do 9 and most of it is not real work either.

Yes it is!

Haha no I know its not its just annoying having others downplay it because they seemingly have it too, but you have it far worse and they dont get it.

So… you’re basically it IS a competition, even right after agreeing that it isn’t?

It’s not competing to acknowledge it affects everyone who has it to different extents. It hugely impacts my life, so it is annoying for others to downplay it or call it a “super power” because it doesn’t impact them as much. I can acknowledge their struggle, it’s not unfair to expect the same in return.
