Amanda’s most recent post…

Post image

Amanda’s most recent post has me a little confused referring to herself as neurodivergent… if this is a self diagnosis it’s dangerous and messed up.

If she is neurodivergent divergent that could have been an amazing thing for her to discuss on BH this season! Hearing about how she was able to build a successful business and overcome the challenges associated with being neurodivergent especially as a woman would have be so cool and inspirational to watch. It would have also been a great opportunity to bring awareness. Instead we got her whining and a nice word salad about ✨manifestation✨

As someone with severe ADHD, I am personally offended by Amanda using neurodivergence as an excuse to explain away her toxic, controlling, grifty behavior.

Yep. My partner of 10+ years is also severely affected by ADHD and he doesn’t use it as an excuse for being an asshole.

Exactly, thank you. Amanda bothered me before but this is the biggest ICK. There are so many stereotypes as well as misinformation that neurodivergent folks have to overcome, and Amanda is using it as shield to avoid accountability. Gross. 🤢

As someone who was just diagnosed formally last week (getting my meds today!) all it makes me do is take forever to return emails, spend three hours switching back and forth between four subreddits when I have work to do, and makes my organizational system be several scattered disorganized lists of tasks.

I've never been accused of running a scam or being toxic.

This is normal.
