My ADHD went unnoticed as a child. Until recently this was common for girls/AFABs who were more often socialized to “behave” & not show external symptoms, while outward hyperactivity was typically identified earlier.
My hyperactivity became internalized thru daydreaming & later as racing thoughts.

Why is there an increase in people pursuing a diagnosis? Partly because people like me talk about it more, and that means more people can read it and say "hang on. That's like me. I didn't know other people were like that as well. I didn't know the reason for it."

Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.
Either way, never trust them again.

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

it's interesting how little the gop messaging apparatus, from the press secretary to election mailers, deviates from "i know you are but what am i"
LESLEY STAHL: You contributed to the toxic culture. You were out there pounding, insulting people
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: You've contributed to it as well
STAHL: I want you to respond to what you have done in terms of insulting people

I just checked and we missed the 10th anniversary of Erick Erickson shooting a copy of the New York Times with a gun. Incredibly, it was just two days before the "no Asian food on Dec. 7" tweet.
That dude was on quite a streak in 2015.

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.
