I’m assuming this will now become her entire personality.

Own it, support it, celebrate it and talk about it. Well done parents!

I’m sure in this case it’s a friendly joke about a quick test that everyone felt was needed. Please don’t take the following as an attack on your post as it’s not.
This image feels so dystopian to me when paired with the title, “Surprising my daughter with the results of her psychological evaluation”.
The idea of families getting the kids psych evaluations then celebrating results feels soo… off. It makes me imagine a world where everyone gets tested with people then going “congratulations on your test you are [insert mental problem]. Please take [insert drug] and be happy citizen.

This is not a super power, it’s an illness which will cause a lot of hardship. You’ve set the wrong tone and it’s entirely tasteless and tone deaf.

That is awesome. Such a fun way to support her lol

Hey, I know we aren’t vulnerable with each other and don’t connect really well, but here’s a sign to make you laugh. Hope that’s enough.

If I got a sign that explained what was off about me that clearly, it would be a relief.

This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Marge caløs Lisa chunky and the words enter her mind and cause havoc on her innocent fairytale imagination and the words crushing several imps as they grow and cause Lisa trauma over the years until she’s just left with that word in her mind lol

That’s awesome! Should have left that last two letters deflated though and just taped up there. My wife has it and when it hits hard, it really sucks. But she’s generally pretty good natured about it. Good luck to your daughter. There’s some pretty good youtube channels that deal specifically with it if your family struggles with it.

would you have want them to celebrate it or would accepting and supporting have been enough? to me, congratulating someone on a mental issue they have is weird and i’d never do that to my kids.
different perspective, would you say congratulations you have cancer? or depression? it could just make the person feel so much worse about having an issue to deal with for possibly the rest of their life. if true, the person who’s had this done was a good sport from the sounds of it, but i’d sure hope the people setting this up support them more than this banner.

i have adhd and i would love this!
that_other_person1 on
I just got diagnosed with adhd as an adult. It didn’t feel like such an event, since my husband and I suspected I had it for a while and I got an online evaluation. I wish I had been diagnosed as a child.
I can see how some people would say this is distasteful, but you know your child, and clearly she saw the humor in it, so kudos for you for making it fun!

Teach me how to be like you… my son will be evaluated soon.
Frenzystor on
Why do you know the result before she does? Assuming she is an adult, this information should be confidential to her.
lonelyinbama on
As someone who was just recently diagnosed with ADHD at 35…. I wish I had this level of support.
It’s been YEARS of “what the fuck is wrong with me” just KNOWING is a massive relief and at least i know what I’m dealing with.
Reminds me of that scene from Scrubs where JD tells a patient that he has cancer (might be somethjng else) and he responds with excitement. The struggle of not knowing what’s wrong is gone and the relief of having an answer is huge.
Muzoa on
LoL, I wish my parents were this chill
FajroFluo92 on
Maybe its because i have suffered with adhd my whole life that i don’t find lifelong celebrating mental disease funny… it’s like saying “congrats in your depression and schizophrenia!”
Shade_BG on
Where does one go to get such a diagnosis?
La-Bete-Noire on
Really brings to mind this piece: (“The Gentrification of Disability”)
at least maybe you understand it? mine never helped or believed I struggled and never let up about my grades. I think I would be horrified to celebrate a diagnosis like this.
