“Parents take you to a psychologist”

Can’t relate to that bit, my mother refused to even take me to the opticians because she insisted there was nothing wrong with me.

These days she thinks I’m making the ADHD stuff up, and occasionally asks me why I don’t just take off my glasses for a while…

Sorry dude that sounds rough.

I was thankfully provided transport, but I was also subjected to a long lecture on why I “don’t want to be on medication”.

I can relate to that, they’re suddenly experts on a condition that they don’t understand and the medication to treat it.
