[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does she have autism or ADHD?[/quote]

Why do people always jump to things like this? She sounds like a lazy, spoiled brat. It doesn't mean there's some syndrome or condition that needs a label so she can be coddled. [/quote]

Says a parent without an ADHD kid. Maybe that's not this girl's issue but it is a possibility. And she could be a lazy spoiled brat and have ADHD. But it's not about coddling, it's about helping them function. As a PP pointed out, it may require the girl doing prep the night before. That applies to anyone frankly. I often think about what I am going to wear to work the night before, particularly if I have an early meeting.[/quote]

Yes, "says a parent without an ADHD kid." When are you going to learn that the vast majority of us don't have ADHD kids? And that your fringe experiences aren't applicable? I swear to God, some of you are all, [i]well my child has this condition, so maybe yours does too.[/i] No, that's highly unlikely and statistically improbable. I know you mean well, but good Lord, stop offering it up as some explanation in every thread where deviant behavior is described.[/quote]

NP - I don’t know, this sounds a lot like my ADHD kid and not like my other two kids without ADHD. 🤷‍♀️

Also speaking “deviant behavior” - please go see a therapist instead of just being mean online when it’s unhelpful and completely uncalled for. You can be honest and tactful at the same time. [/quote]

First of all, don't tell another person to see a therapist. You are so incredibly rude and out-of-line with that. Like, how dare you?

Second, I am going to assume that English isn't your first language? Because if it was, you'd know that I used the derivative of the word "deviance" correctly. In this context, "deviant behavior" means behavior that deviates from the norm. While I'm painfully aware of the contortions some have gone through to try to police language, it's the correct usage of the word. Just being honest and tactful, here.

There we are, then.[/quote]

DP. You think an average native speaker will hear the word deviance and understand the nuances? [/quote]
