Sometimes it's easy to forget this when people judge, but remind yourself of it, your scars are nothing to be ashamed of @morgan007 and like you said, you have a story. You are human.
If anything this person sounds attention seeking themselves for even saying this to you
How are you feeling since they said this?
Also, I noticed you mentioned about someone online talking about ADHD and saying it is an 'illness'. I feel like that was very insensitive of them to post online as ADHD isn't an illness but that the person is wired differently and see things differently to everyone else. As someone with ADHD, I see it as that I'm wired differently. I feel like lots of people online has been giving out mis-information on things like ADHD even Autism or any neurodivergency in general. I just think people need to think more before they post online especially in real life too. How are you feeling at the moment?,
Hope your okay,

I can understand, the main thing is that they apologised to you and owned to them being wrong. Im not too bad this week, thank you for asking
Yeah I got to agree with it online as there was an incident of an influencer on tiktok who pretended to have ticks which caused a lot of people to see it as a trend. I often find people see neurodivergency as like a 'trend' eventhough it shouldn't be a trend as it is a genuine thing and being neurodivergent can be challenging at times so I don't get why people want to use it as a trend. Also I have seen people labelling fictional characters in films and TV too especially if that character is portrayed as different to others too.
