When people say to me, “yeah, but everyone does that” or “everyone deals with that, it is normal” when discussing my ADHD or ASD

I respond with;

“Everyone goes to the bathroom, what, once? Twice a day, right? … well, if you were going to the bathroom 60 times a day we can agree something is wrong and you should probably see a doctor about that, right? Good, I am glad we can agree on that.”

I always use the pregnancy analogy. Maybe you have morning sickness sometimes and crave certain foods, but that doesn’t mean you are pregnant. You either have a baby in you or you don’t.

Edit: crave, not crazy

Oh my god I use this SAME EXACT analogy

Like we all zone out, we all forget something or draw a blank, we all have to write stuff down, we all sometimes get super interested or excited about a topic, it’s called being a person

However for you it’s not creating a scenario where those are impeding your lives regularly and j say regularly because I’m sure someone has lost a job or something over forgetting something even tho our example person normally has good memory

Idk I kinda lost my train of thought near the end
