minus-squareChrislinkfedilinkEnglish4•1 month agoAgreed. I do feel like I’m a child but I didn’t think it was ADHD related. It’s because I can’t get anything done as an adult. I have to pay quarterly taxes and it never happens on time so I get a penalty every year. Just one example.
minus-square@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglish1•8 days agoi think it just generally happens with neurodivergence, there can be a lot of infantilization and since society has few considerations for differences it’s more difficult to be self-sufficient, which makes you feel less adult.
