This can be the case particularly with those close to you who may need to come to terms with the fact that a lot of what they experience of you has a cause and new things to discover. Not everyone will want or try to understand instead seeing the revelations as excuses to behave in ways they don’t agree with. Exactly why talking about ADHD as much as we can (safely) can be helpful to reduce stigma and ignorance.
