Wanted to share my reply to this: As someone who has been dealing with ADHD/learning disabilities since grade 4 - from the bottom my heart, shut the fuck up. My parents and teachers did everything in their power to help me when I needed it the most, and I would not trade that for anything. I’m 25, have an amazing life partner, job, dog and everything I could ever wish for, all without the use of medication. Saying it’s a quick solution is a cop-out when SO FUCKING many people with DIAGNOSED ADHD do not have access to them. Let’s dive into some not so fun facts: - Neglecting ADHD treatments causes a 19% increased risk of death. - Adults who are not diagnosed with ADHD as children see a 30% increase in risk of anxiety and depression compared to their peers. - Teens who have ADHD who are left untreated are 2x more likely to abuse substances. - Young drivers who have untreated ADHD are 3x more likely to cause car accidents. - People with ADHD are FIVE TIMES more likely to commit suicide

Fucking preach! 👏 👏 👏 When I taught students, I was always upset when parents didn't want to do everything possible to get their kids the help they need because it's a "phase" or "it's just how kids are" I'm so thankful you had the support system you needed to be the person you are today 🫶
