Oh man, there’s a whole ADHD anger thing with kids not getting what they’re told to expect.
ADHD rage is real. Especially when it leads to a vicious circle of disappointment->lashing out->consequence->further lashing out
Ugh. Yeah, that sounds familiar. Never seen people send themselves down that cycle so hard. Get punished, unable to let go of the anger, get told to stop or more punishment, I don’t fucking care punish me, gets more punishment.
Sucks if you don’t understand it. People just need to be told to fuck off and cool down, then you can deal with it. In the heat of the problem ADHD makes it so much worse.
