Never been a concern for me really. When family found out about ADHD and ASD though, (ASD I'm still disputing after 3 years) I wasn't exactly chuffed when my Sister told one of her old friends (who I knew) that "ohh guess what, he's been diagnosed with autism!"

...completely 'forgetting' to mention ADHD... lol... Sister still a ****** even now, lol..
Doesn't bother me though, I got a laugh from hearing the above.

OCD and ADHD are pretty "public disorders", ASD not so much but Autism not something people completly misunderstand per se. C-PTSD, don't think i've said yet to anyone, other than my GF. Ofc though when people do ask and I say cause by emotional abuse, they're probably won't give it the weight it actually has. I mean, even I can see, the diff types of abusive, sexual being/seeing/read/saying sounds like "actual abuse", unlike emotional which people probably be quite clueless about, Even physical abuse, would get more weight than emotional. Which not saying one is this than other. No. I know though people won't get emotional abuse when I say it, and then i'll say, well you know how I was pretty close to stepping over the line and becoming a professional killer, yeah... ? They say NO!?! I say, there you go. :P

I honestly don't mind people thinking i'm "crazy" I find it fun to play up to the role of what people say sometimes, it's definitely because of my childhood and how I became the role that was forced onto me, because I was provoked into it.

I'm sure it is much different though for people who suffer more uncontrollable disorders.
I won't say any though.

Honestly, my Bro who only family I see and care about at this end of the UK, didn't further ask about ADHD or ASD, just "hhhuh", as in "cool", as in, "so what?" lol.

He got diagnosed dyslexia a year back, wanted to try to talk to him about it, he's only 19 atm, but he seems completely fine it with. Tries harder with communication/spelling etc even. He is even a grammar Nazi which gotta admit is pretty hilarious, being told how to spell, or structure a sentence etc by someone who has a learning disorder, who does it better than you?

What can you say to someone like that? xD

I think most disorders should be jested about, it sucks to see people worried unnecessarily about things. Besides, ADHDers always laughing, gotta, to make it through that, why shouldn't people with other disorders joke as well?
