Thank you, I was too busy seeing red to be able to put together something so well-stated.
That quote from the LW about “ normal ways to train children not to throw tantrums or be lazy” could have come straight out of my Wire Mother’s mouth.
(Conveniently, neither my ADHD nor my physical disability/invisible illness were diagnosed until I was in my 20’s, because OBVIOUSLY I was just lazy, faking, lying about pain, “not living up to my potential,” and “trying to get attention.”)
