In reference to the awful /r/ADHD subreddit which is the most anti-ADHD place online I have ever seen I would like to know if this place will follow their horrible example or actually allow neurodivergent people with ADHD to consider it a home?
Based on this from the sidebar it seems positive and I look forward to interacting with you all.
"Encouraged:
Funny memes. Welcoming and accepting attitudes. Questions on confusing situations. Seeking and sharing support. Engagement in our values."
So far so welcoming/supportive. 👍
Ohh yes. I lost that community because of the mods there. And I was looking for another adhd community that fit my needs. Didn’t find any and I was a little concerned that the mods from there are the ones modding this place as well.
People for sure where hyperfixated on the term “neurodivergency” back on the old sub. I don’t understand why they thought ND means the same as anti-therapy.
Hey guys. This is a safe place which so far has required zero mod actions. Feel free to post about anything ADHD related. I don’t mind what words you want to use or if you self diagnose. Some no-no’s: Don’t tell others what meds they should take. But feel free to discuss your own meds. No suicide threats, we won’t do as good a job here as your local help line, and if you’re at that point, you need more help than an open forum.
Try keep it positive but thats not a rule just encouragement.
I have never had an issue with r/adhd. For the most part, the community there was kind, caring, accepting and helpful. I was actually hoping this community would be just like r/adhd…
Something I want to make an example of with this comment:
The previous person states their frustration of the subreddit. What value does your comment bring to their situation? Does it help address the problem?
When I post about an issue online and someone says “no problem here,” that doesn’t help solve the problem.
