So much “advice” I’ve received over the years, from teachers, colleagues, employers, family, has functionally boiled down to some variant of these:
“Just be less autistic.”
“Just be less ADHD.”
“Just be more well-adapted to the society you were born into.”
“Just care more about things you don’t care about, and less about the things you do.”
“Just do the things you find hard, that I don’t. It’s easy!”
