Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Like I said, I grew up taking meds for ADD, I've spent a lot of time researching the disease. The fact that you think having a mental illness (or "problem," as you asininely referred to it) is an "insult" (many people with ADD see it as a gift) is what's really insulting. Not being able to concentrate on something, whether it be a book or a tv show, can be one sign that one has ADD. (Seriously, I don't see the difference in not being able to finish a book and not being able to finish watching a tv program. Same fucking difference.) I don't think people with ADD would be offended, considering that I was on a livejournal community for adults with ADD who reported similiar problems.

By the way, I have bipolar, which is commonly misdiagnosed in children and adolescents as ADD, because it can manifest itself in similar ways.

TL;DR You have absolutely no idea what the hell you're talking about. Unless you are ADD and you are personally offended, where the fuck do you come off speaking on behalf of those with the condition?

I'm sure many people with ADHD see it as a gift, just as they do with autism etc etc. My point is whether it's a gift or a curse, doesn't give you the right to suggest someone has it. My main issue was simply the fact that while the OP specifically said they have trouble watching MST3000 (meaning they can happily sit and watch Grey's Anatomy, Lost or any other number of shows), you had to turn it into 'maybe it's ADHD', which is just so completely out of left-field (or right-field, I'm a little sticky on Americanisms) that I felt I had to comment. I was no way speaking on behalf of ADHD sufferers (although I'm sure you'll take umbrage at that appellation, too), as I think was pretty clear. I was speaking as myself suggesting that perhaps you might want to think about whether there is any justification before you go throwing these things around.
I'm pretty sure the OP hasn't even read these comments, but if they have and there's a chance they're now scared and worried there's something wrong with them, I think I pretty justified in saying you should be more careful.
To reiterate, I never said there was anything wrong with having ADHD. There's also nothing wrong with having diabetes, but that doesn't mean I'd go around telling people they have it because they want a glass of water on a hot day.
