If I'm going to be an optimist, the post says "People didn't previously get diagnosed because a bad upbringing is just abuse and not diagnosis" and this person is saying "with a good upbringing, you get help with diagnosis instead of abuse." No joke involved. just "The secret to not having miserable kids is not abusing them."

Obviously the negative take would be "Abusing your child until they behave 'normal' is a good upbringing because it 'helps' them blend in"

Which one was it? 🤷 Poe's law kinda means it's impossible to know if this is sarcasm or not. I'm not about to go digging through someone's post history to find out their attitude on the topic.

Reported for what? 😂 I swear too much time on this community and you'd think people with ADHD are marginalized as much as trans people. Get over yourselves

This is not a zero sum game. Your comment comes off as pretty hateful but on the off chance it's not intended as a troll, support disadvantaged people and be empathetic. There's a lot of community overlap.

Reported for what?

Probably for defending child abuse

Pretty sure they said having a good upbringing (supportive/attentive parents) helps negate the effects of undiagnosed ADHD, not sure how tf you got defending child abuse.

The way it's worded reads like they're implying doing the things in the tweet to make kids "normal" is good parenting. It's not uncommon for dipshits to say that, and the ban makes me think they doubled down on it.

I think that comment has two readings:

The commenter potentially missed the point of the post a bit and saying good parenting helps because it means they get diagnosed sooner
The commenter is saying that the abusive behaviours listed in the post count as "good parenting"

I can see why the second might get reported.
