If you’re like me you may want some kind of validation – understanding that you really DO try/work hard etc. I want the world to know I’ve got ADHD and that it’s not my fault.
I’ve had a pretty good reaction from most people. Some people suggest using a diary (PMSL) and some people don’t understand at first but ask questions that I’m happy to answer.
I haven’t really had a bad experience from telling someone yet, but if I did, it’d upset me but would ultimately be THEIR problem, not mine. You just need to tell them ADHD has nothing to do with intellect. You’re clever AND you have attention/impulse/memory/whatever problems. That’s all. If they can’t understand it, it’s not that hard, they can go jump!
In my humble opinion!
