Gonna delete this in a second, but man, neurodivergent kid bingo is like: - “everyone has a diagnosis these day!” - “I’d have ADHD too if I grew up with screens” - “did you try anything else before you tried medication?” [no, Mary, I went straight to amphetamines] - “Pickiness is created by parents”
