Coping with ADHD Doubters: How to Care Less About What Others Think

How do you guys cope with it when people tell you that ADHD isn’t real or isn’t that big of a deal? Like, I know they’re wrong and all. It’s been really impairing for me and I have a lot of evidence to prove it. That said, I always let it get to me too much when someone doubts that. I wish I didn’t care what other people thought, but I just do. How do you guys cope with it and care less about what other people think?

Ok, now this hits close to home. I’ve been told by a few people that ADHD isn’t a real issue as well… but I don’t really have a specific way of coping with it except just ignoring those people, and thinking that they are uninformed/ignorant. It hurts the most though when it’s someone close to you that doesn’t believe in ADHD. I’d say this issue is one we all experienced at one point or another.
