I discovered I had ADHD about 18 months ago and since then I’ve noticed my personality has changed quite a bit. Just knowing the reason why the world always seemed such a confusing place and realising how much masking I did all my life, I’ve noticed the pendulum seems to be swinging in the other way now. I’m never masking again and if that means I seem strange to neurotypicals then so be it.
Have any of you who also discovered your neurospicyness in the last few years experienced anything like this as well? I’m just done pretending and I know it’s probably making me more of a challenge to be around.
I wonder if this is normal and if the pendulum will swing back eventually to a more harmonious place.
Also when did it become ok for dentists to tell you off for not brushing up to their standards. I just noticed how they routinely use shaming as a form of control.
Dentists have always done that. It’s their divine right to shame us. Take better care of your teeth.
I’m on team dentist here as well. Those things don’t geow back unless you’re 3. Get an electric toothbrush. They’re not that expensive, and don’t make brushing take any more time than otherwise.
Dentists are sadists.
Take care of your teeth or be shamed and tortured by dentists.
Edit: novacaine doesn’t work but they’ll still grab a recalcitrant baby tooth with piliers and grindingly yank it out with pliers.
How opposed to dental care are you? Insane
