   What separates the #ActuallyADHD havers from the merely #ADHD havers?

   Does it require submitting proof to a committee or receiving a badge or certificate?

   Is there a secret handshake? Or a card you keep in your wallet?

     @Murdoc Got it! Thanks!
     So I can use the actually version when i gripe about the myriad negative ways having ADHD affects my life and the coping/compensating/masking i do in response

     @NaClKnight The difference is that anyone can use the adhd tag to talk about it, whether they have it or not. To use the actually tag means that you actually have it, so people can better understand your perspective. There's nothing stopping someone without adhd from using it, but it is considered fraudulent by the rest of the community. Same goes for the #actuallyautistic and #actuallyaudhd as well.

     @NaClKnight Submitting proof seems like it would disprove that one has ADHD

     @glassdelusion Thanks? I'm familiar with ADHD and was asking about the ADHD and ActuallyADHD hashtags
