Atticus:
I remember well the first time I told my boss about my ADHD diagnosis 7 years ago... WHAT A MISTAKE!!! As you said, there was absolutely NO empathy because he had no knowledge to base his judment on, and after that my behavior, in minute detail was filtered through that lens. YUK!
When I began chemical treatment for clinical depression, I got very little support from my wife, who questioned the high cost of the meds, especially the first month before my deductible had been met and for months after as we tried many different meds, trying to find the right combination. She was going through ovarian cancer and I had to almost blow up at her and explain that my condition killed far more people per year than hers....
I understand completely where you're coming from.
