  • Each one of these placating statements from them expressed sorrow for not listening/communicating more with their consumers, but I can’t help noticing a conspicuous lack of apology to their own employees.

    Like, stop acting as if this is out of a clear blue sky and you’re simply course-correcting in good faith. Your own people told you this would happen. My trust in Unity is gone until they address this.

    For adults, it’s under-diagnosed. Because some of the most common prescriptions for it are stimulants like Adderall, there is a fear that adults are trying to scam the doctor. Additionally, and imo even more infuriatingly, doctors are apprehensive about diagnosing an adult because “you made it this far in life without needing help. You can’t be ADHD/autistic/neurodivergent.” Fuck that mentality. I’m ADHD and autistic and I don’t need a doctor to validate me when they can’t even agree amongst themselves half the time.
