It’s ok and I’m also sorry for not clearly expressing that my objection isn’t because I think mental illness is inherently bad.

You’re right that it is a disability and that it’s viewed almost exactly the same as mental illness. Which is to say that even though people may need and qualify for special accommodation, it rarely happens. Part of that is the stigma of mental illness, part of it with ADHD and dyslexia and autism is that a lot of people truly believe it’s a temporary condition that can be overcome if the person wasn’t lazy, others believe it’s temporary and the right medication will cure it.

It sucks that people are so terrible. Don't have ADHD (I think), but I do have learning disabilities, and it took forever to actually get them taken seriously (that and the mental illness) because I was told I was just lazy and just had to work harder and put in more effort.

And honestly, it happens with chronic illness a lot too. People are just quick to judge and generally awful.

People really are judgey and awful :(

I expend so much more energy for everyday tasks than my family and it’s really disheartening. Luckily my partner is understanding and we work together on a lot of things. I can’t be trusted to empty the dishwasher because I will discover about an hour’s worth of tasks that need to be done in preparation for emptying the dishwasher. And whatever I was doing before will be forgotten, usually forever. So my partner just does it after work every day, even if we ran it the evening before. Little things like that have really helped me as an adult. I wouldn’t go back and relive my childhood for all the money in the world.

Man, you really lucked out with your partner. Not many people would have the love and patience to selflessly carry the weight of a relationship like that.
