My ADHD is not the Shaytan guys it’s Ramadan and it’s still here

Posting this because I saw a post on Instagram about developing focus in prayer, which is great Alhamdulillah until I scrolled to the comments. I saw one person talking about how they have ADHD so it’s really hard for them (I assume they really really try but struggle) and somebody else replied to them saying: “No you don’t, it’s just Shaytan.”

The lack of awareness around neurodiversity in the Muslim community annoys me. Like if ADHD is just Shaytan then WHY DO I STILL HAVE IT IN RAMADAN?

You can’t just pray the ADHD away, it doesn’t work like that and to say it’s ‘just Shaytan’ is super ignorant, invalidating and it makes Muslims with ADHD feel horrible. Not only that, but it ignores the positives that can come with ADHD.

Rant over!🩷
