Is that really a feature of ADHD?
I mean it explains a lot I'm just surprised.
I thought I just hated the idea of people thinking they have authority for "reasons."
No, officer bob, pointing the pistol at my head does not give you the authority to take my money. Just because you are threatening me with lethal force and will likely face no legal consequences, does not actually mean you have the right to demand the money I worked hard at obtaining in my hands. That's basically school yard bullying. And before you get all bent out of shape, yes, I earned this because it's not easy to walk out of a bank with everyone's cash. You just stuck a gun in my face. Hope you feel good with the power trip you theiving bastard.
I think the “hating being told what to do” leans a little toward the ASD side of ADHD. The difficulty dealing with transitions that trigger anxiety and frustration when being shifted out of a routine.
You’re doing what you’re doing and focused on it, in the groove, then someone inserts something between you and the goal you were aimed at and completely destroys your flow.
It can really be pretty angering.
I bristle whenever anyone tries to say an ADHD feature that overlaps with another thing is "more" that thing. Oppositional Defiance Disorder is like, suuuuper comorbid with ADHD.
We can share some stuff, thankyouverymuch.
TIL ODD is a thing and i probably have it
There is nothing more infuriating to me than when I'm in the middle of doing something and someone tells me to do it!
