Did You Even Know

In School they misused "adhd" "Stop acting like you have adhd" "I'm so hyper today, I think I have adhd" And I felt the pain, like someone had hit my in the stomach, every single time. But what could I do? Adhd is not only hyperactivity Adhd is not only being detracted easily Adhd is not only high arousal Adhd isn't my choice, did you know? I would have begged them to stop, but I was ashamed of being different in such a way that I had problems understanding it myself I tried to hide it. "Why do you take those pills" they ask. I have a problem with signals in my brain. It's psychical, I tell them. They understand because psychical things are so much easier to understand
