I’m so tired of people dismissing ADHD as something other than ADHD.

My diet has evolved throughout my lifetime, but you know what hasn’t? My ADHD experience. I’ve always struggled to stay focused, get started, finish tasks, manage time and set priorities since I was a young child.

Claiming it’s a food allergy — with no evidence! — just reinforces the idea that ADHD is a moral failing rather than a developmental disorder that renders many of us miserable and, sometimes, nearly powerless.
