This episode expresses the profound pain experienced by individuals with ADHD when facing family disapproval, asserting that this rejection is far more distressing than criticism from colleagues or strangers. It highlights the unique challenge of neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD and ASD, which are invisible illnesses unlike physical injuries or common sicknesses, leading to a lack of understanding from society and even family members. The author, who has lived with ADHD for fifty years, describes the agony of being ridiculed by their own family, even in front of their children, and emphasizes that these conditions are lifelong characteristics, not temporary illnesses that can be cured. The text concludes with a call for individuals with developmental disabilities to form a new society where their neurodivergent traits are understood and accepted, suggesting this is a more realistic path than waiting for broader societal acceptance.
