Ugh, I have ADHD and it still frustrates me that my kiddo won't do things even though I understand how hard it is. Sometimes I wonder if I am more mad at myself for being a hypocrit than her resistance.

I thought having grown up with ADD and having developed my own coping mechanisms and strategies would help me raise an ADD child. Holy shit it is so hard.

I believe it's called internalized ablism. Adopting the belief structures of neurotypicals because for most of our lives we didn't know that there was any other way. It's a lot of work digging those roots out of there.
