They are usually the ones setting up the too good to be true situations, so they probably never thought they would be on the receiving end of one.

It’s like these assholes have never heard the phrase “too good to be true”.

Honestly, sometimes lamps annoy me more then an over head light. Lamps are normal about eye level, so they shine directly into my eyes more often. Where as over head light it on the roof, were I don’t normally look.

And then there is the issue of actually lighting the room well enough for me to see. Sometimes lamps aren’t enough and I can’t see what I am doing well enough. Building legos for example. It super hard to see what color piece I am being told to use when the lighting to too dim/far away/too warm. But my ND partner hate over head lights. So I suffer (hyperbolic)

Yeah, this doesn’t really explain why the first is bad advice. Technically, it is great advice, eating better, having a schedule, and proper sleep DOES help people with ADHD. The problem is actually doing all that when struggling with ADHD. So when the advise boils down to “just do the thing” and you are struggling to do it, it feels worthless.

I get quiet when actually hurt because I am assessing how bad I am actually hurt. So if everyone would just STFO a moment and let me do my thing before asking me if I’m alright, I would appreciate it.
