Have you taken your medication??
Well there's a question that is beginning to burn my hide!
It's ranking right up there with " um, is it your time of the month or something?"
Wanna make a PMSer mad? Ask her THAT question!
Wanna make an ADHDer mad? Ask 'em if he or she has taken their meds.
Just because I have an ADHD moment, doesn't mean that I have skipped my meds. Conversely, just because I have had a GREAT day, doesn't mean that I have had a change in meds either! Just like anyone else, ADHDers have good days and bad days. Sometimes we seem to have it together ( at least on the outside) and sometimes we cant get a darn thing going well --- meds or not.
So Please, if you know or love an ADHDer.. Don't ask that person if they have taken his or her medication when he or she messes up. We might just only be having a bad day...
