In reference to the awful /r/ADHD subreddit which is the most anti-ADHD place online I have ever seen I would like to know if this place will follow their horrible example or actually allow neurodivergent people with ADHD to consider it a home?

Based on this from the sidebar it seems positive and I look forward to interacting with you all.

As a former mod of r/adhd, I can assure you that each decision made was due to problems either on the sub or on the associated chat room. r/ADHD was supposed to be a support group and information location whereas r/adhdmemes was for the shitposting and memes. The problem appears to be that over time, more and more rules and issues cropped up and rules for temporary situations were never revisited. You will probably find that this is a more welcoming environment to begin with and then will slowly become more and more like r/adhd as problems occur.

I imagine it can get very hard to be caring and fair when dealing with a massive group of ND people. I loved r/ADHD, and I understand why so many of those rules were necessary.
