Your perspective is so valuable in contextualising this work - and grounding it in reality. It's also just so important to see that researchers can and do bring their lived experience into their work, and it's not adding some sort of bias but it's enriching!

True - I was more getting at the fact that it's dismissive of the very real struggles and concerns of disabled/mad/marginalised folk. I get that "normal" isn't something you can/should aspire to fit yourself into, I'm just saying that feeling not "normal" can be a common way of articulating things

Yes! Really relate to that - what drove me to think about an ADHD diagnosis a few years ago was looking at my peers and thinking "is it really this hard for everyone? Why am *I* finding this so hard then?". When in reality being Mad/Disabled is an extra full-time job on top of daily existence.
