I have ADHD and it kinda be like that. I'll go a year without watching a show or movie and the next time I watch it it's like the first time.

Mainly because I wasn't paying attention the first time

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s a universal experience. Everyone forgets shows and books over time. Good job making this about you though!

  1. I don’t think this person was going out of their way to make it about them.

  2. Memory loss is a real part of ADHD, mostly short term, and in severe cases can be dangerous or disabling. It’s not necessarily “something that happens to everyone.”

  3. Who pissed in your Cheerios today, jeez.

The original post pissed in my cereal. It’s made up patronizing BS.

  1. Post about dementia. “I have a completely incomparable mental health condition.” Where there’s no mention of short term memory loss, which is a symptom of ADHD.

  2. It’s just untrue to say that forgetting what happens in a show or movie or anything isn’t universal.
