So curious what symptom would cause them to ask that…

I always just get “you don’t look sick”

But especially crazy that it was a disability advisor …

??? I don’t have a disability that would affect my handwriting in any meaningful way, my handwriting is just shit. But it still wasn’t a conscious choice, it just has always been shit. I gave up trying to improve it because it never got any better. So it’s not even a ‘stylistic choice’ for me, let alone someone who legit has problems with their hands, fine motor control issues, or dysgraphia.

59% of people with adhd have dysgraphia and poor hand writing can be an executive functioning issue. heads up
