Looks like that squiggle donated several times to Jack and is now realising that Jack is actually much more affluent than she is. Her first tweet says "Imagine how you'd feel if you gave lots of little donations to someone in what felt like just about affordable chunks because you thought they really needed help. It all adds up to £1452."Holy shit squiggle! Someone has landed the article at her feet with massive side of sarcasm
I was wondering if anyone would spot that!!!I tried four in one category and it said I was a greedy goblin! Nice touch @Switchstreetz
I could really go off about this.I bet she punched the air in delight when she managed to convince her private doctor to agree with her self diagnosis. They probably agreed with her to get her out of the door.
I have mentioned before about my experiences with getting prescriptions from a dodgy doctor. They will prescribe anything to shut you up (or in my case because I thought he was a mate). I got whatever I wanted, I was even prescribed methadone, which was definitely not required, I was never a heroin addict. You can get anything if you are willing to pay enough and shop around for a dodgy doctor.............not that I'm saying that is what Jack has done, of course, I'm just sharing my observations.
I'm already feeling fragile this week and this is starting to tip me over the edge again.She needs to stop this. ADHD is primarily misunderstood in women because it doesn’t manifest as fidgeting and misbehaviour and underachieving. A huge number of women with ADHD are high-functioning, successful, highly intelligent, and they will meet deadlines and compulsively organise their professional lives to the detriment of their personal well-being.
So many women I know who’ve been diagnosed were mistakenly diagnosed as BPD, bi-polar etc etc, when in fact it was this “masking” behaviour which was destroying them. Jack makes attempts at copying this with her stupid fucking colour-coded lists but ultimately it’s just performative procrastination.
Jack is welcome to tout her shopped diagnosis as a reason for her repeated missed deadlines and unpreparedness, if she can say “this is not the case for everyone with my condition”. But it rankles with me that she’s asking for an excuse to do a sub-standard job and thus perpetuating the idea that if an employer hires someone with ADHD they can expect lateness, erratic behaviour and shitty excuses.
Standard Jack to wave her privately diagnosed and treated condition as a shield against this article calling out her grift. I’m heartened that people in her industry are noticing, but nonetheless others will certainly jump to her defence even though it’s fucking bullshit.
Same. I was convinced for years I hated butter but had a major plot twist in my early 20s when I realised it was just margarine I couldn't stand the taste of. Expect more details to be revealed in my upcoming blog post, 'Turnips'.We had Flora marg. We weren't too poor we couldn't afford butter, I think my mum thought it was better for you at the time? I'll ask her later how she could deprive me so!
Sorry... Just to add this gem in the interview.Jack Monroe, Bootstrap Cook interview - spilling the beans on tins, Twitter and talking about gender
The campaigning cook is on a mission to help everyone on a budget find the fun in feeding themselveswww.scotsman.com
This article in the Scotsman (ohhh, Jackie) she states that a few years ago her doctor diagnosed her as being '99 per cent of the qualities of classic autism and there are ADHD qualities to it.'
.... Soooooo she only had adhd 'qualities' last year then?
Alan you need to do our smol little pixie pleeeeease?
