I’ve had the same problems with ADHD, particularly with therapists who have gaslit and invalidated my experiences just because they personally haven’t experienced the same thing as neurotypicals. It’s been so bad that I currently refuse to even consider seeing a therapist unless they also have ADHD. I’m sick of having to not only go out of my way to explain something that’s difficult for me, but to defend it as an actual problem and not just an imagined byproduct of cognitive dissonance.
