The fic i just posted is my 175th fic. What the hell am I doing with myself?

I was going through my me tag and found this. Oh past me, you’re adorable. That was slightly less than 2 years ago, 4/22/2014. Sweetie, you’ve got 325 fics now. and that’s not counting the co-writes. You’re still just as crazy fast a writer as you were, just you’ve continued to improve.

Help Wanted: We Can’t Ignore the ADHD Girls in the Corner Any Longer

Help Wanted: We Can’t Ignore the ADHD Girls in the Corner Any Longer

Every class had those boys—the ones who didn’t do their work and always climbed out of their seats. They never finished a worksheet, threw pencils, and talked too loud. They never raised their hand. Mostly, we didn’t like those boys, the ones who were always sent to the office, the ones always fighting. We didn’t have a name for those boys. Today, teachers and administrators call them ADHD. Today, they have IEPs, fidget toys, Ritalin. This generation of “those boys” has it much, much better.

But another group lurked in the classroom. We were mostly smart, but turned in worksheets littered with careless mistakes. A teacher might talk to us about it, or show her annoyance through some red pen. Nothing else. We sometimes shouted out answers without raising our hands, or spaced out and didn’t bother to raise our hands at all. At times we talked loudly. But most of all, we forgot things. We forgot dates, names, permission slips, homework assignments, and books. We didn’t remember. We were quieter than “those boys.” But in the eyes of the school, we suffered from no less of a moral failing: How could we be so smart and so damn stupid?

A moral failure—this is what inattentive ADHD meant to me as a child.
