    For adults, it’s under-diagnosed. Because some of the most common prescriptions for it are stimulants like Adderall, there is a fear that adults are trying to scam the doctor. Additionally, and imo even more infuriatingly, doctors are apprehensive about diagnosing an adult because “you made it this far in life without needing help. You can’t be ADHD/autistic/neurodivergent.” Fuck that mentality. I’m ADHD and autistic and I don’t need a doctor to validate me when they can’t even agree amongst themselves half the time.

    Oh sure as an adult I can see that. But I’m not going to deprive myself of nostalgia simply because times have progressed. Sometimes I like to enjoy my childhood again and put on a movie or show or book from when I was young that may not hold up now. As a grown up, I can enjoy it with nuance. But you make a good point and that’s why HP isn’t a bedtime story for my kid lol.

    Considering the statistics for tattoo removal in general when compared to the rate of gender de-transitions, I’d be genuinely flabbergasted if this post wasn’t true.

    For me personally, I don’t have an issue separating Rowling from HP. IMO, she retconned herself out of the HP universe the day she tried to make wizards shitting themselves canon.
