I bet most people reading this don't need to hear it, but: please do not use ADHD, OCD or the names of other disorders to describe people's behaviour, even your own, where that disorder is not in fact present.

It is not "so OCD" to want to line up your books perfectly and someone isn't "a bit ADHD" because they forget their keys a lot. Someone isn't "totally bipolar" because they have mood swings.

Just saw someone using "ADHD" as, essentially, an insult towards people who can't finish a book series. (A book series I, an ADHD haver, have read twice.) It is WILD to me that people still do this.

I will give my mum an exception to this, because as the mother of two ADHD children and the wife of an ADHD husband, it is in fact hilarious when she accuses her cat of ALSO having ADHD.

@astronomerritt I can only imagine your mom attempting, in vain, to get the family to leave on time, for anything
(I know youve said you're an arrive early person, so you might not count)

@Artemis201 Oh no, see, I got the Early To Everything habits from my dad. He’d be sitting there in there in the car honking the horn and my mum would be yelling “we don’t have to leave for another fifteen minutes!”
