Inside the mind of a teenage girl with ADHD and Autism

Self diagnosised

There are thousands of videos on Tik Tok saying if you twitch your leg, get distracted, can't focus and get hyper you might have ADHD. This really annoys me because yes they are signs of ADHD but they are only a few things that come with having it. Then you get all these people in the comments saying I have ADHD now and it drives me insane, these people are only being harmless but sometimes it hurts because they haven't got a clue what it's actually like, just because you get distracted and can't sit still it DOES NOT mean you have ADHD. It might but I feel like no one can sit still and everyone gets distracted. The same applies with Autism and tik toks that make people self diagnose.

Having ADHD and Autism isn't a joke and it can be hard so when people are joking around saying "I'm autistic because I like fidget toys" or "I have ADHD because I can't sit still" need to fully educate themselves on what it's really like and it's not always as good as it sounds. Of course online most people will show the good parts of having ADHD and Autism but why would they show the bad parts like the anxiety we have and the break downs over
sometimes the small things, no one wants to see or show the bad parts.

So next time people try and self diagnose educate yourself first please and learn all aspects of it or speak to some you know about how they feel and what it's really like. Self diagnosing isn't good.
