Things ADHDers Can't Stand Hearing About Their Difference

We’ve all heard them—the frustrating comments that make us feel misunderstood, judged, or even doubting ourselves because of our ADHD.

Whether it’s ‘You don’t look like you have ADHD’ or ‘Why can’t you just be more organized,’ these comments don’t just irritate us, they can actually fuel our ADHD struggles and impact our self-esteem.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the five things people with ADHD can’t stand hearing about their differences and, more importantly, how to reframe those comments to better advocate for yourself and show others what ADHD really looks like.

We’ll talk about why these comments sting, how they exacerbate common ADHD symptoms like emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity, and explore how they can affect self-worth.

But here’s the twist: instead of letting these words drag you down, we’ll be flipping the script and turning those criticisms into moments of self-empowerment and clarity. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies to reframe these frustrating situations and advocate for your ADHD needs with confidence.
