I have EDS. I am 31 and haven't had a day without pain since 2nd grade. It's made me a tough son of a bitch with a crazy pain tolerance. That's come in handy, like when I jumped in to save my dog from a stray that attacked him. You can say my pain tolerance is a positive outcome of my degenerative joint condition.
If you came up to me trying to frame my suffering as something I should be chipper about, I'd probably chew you up and spit you in the trash.
This is just blatantly ignorant to anyone with any sense. You're just being disrespectful and demonstrating that you are disconnected from the reality of the situation.
This trope that ADHD is somehow a fucking gift needs to die. It's not. I don't need it to be who I am and it sure as fucking fuck didn't help me get ahead in life. It wasn't the price of being smart, everyone else is my family is smart without having to worry about things I do. Just... No. You're wrong about this.
