Alex Partridge for prime minister, my manifesto?

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria to be added to the ADHD assessment criteria and recognised as the hardest part of ADHD.

Children with ADHD receive 20,000 extra micro rejections than a neurotypical child:

“You’re embarrassing yourself”
“Why are you being lazy?”
“Stop biting your nails!”
“Why are you crying?!”
“Stop being dramatic”
“You’re too sensitive!”
“You’re really rude”
“Stop being weird!”
“Stop fidgeting”
“Calm down”
“Be normal!”
“Stop it!”

Even non-verbal rejections like an eye roll.

This turns them into adults who experience something called Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. It causes extreme emotional pain when someone rejects or criticises them.

One tiny comment, like a friend saying they’re too busy to see them, can trigger a nervous system collapse that feels like they’re being attacked.
And it means they:

Can’t do anything unless it’s perfect.

They stay in the office 4 hours later than others.

They stay up all night to complete the work to a high standard. They work obscenely hard simply to protect themselves from the emotional pain that comes when their boss makes a tiny correction to their work.

Fear disappointing people.

This turns them into people pleasers. They abandon their own wants and needs to satisfy the want and needs of others. They’re always over apologising.

They hide their suffering because they don’t want to cause a fuss or let anyone down but they’re crumbling inside, drinking or eating in secret, silently imploding emotionally, filled with sadness and shame.

They avoid making decisions.

They don’t apply for that promotion, they stay in that abusive relationship, they let that ‘friend’ keep walking over them.
It feels safer to avoid the conversation.

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria is exhausting, debilitating and dangerous. And I promise to add it to the assessment criteria for ADHD if you make me your prime minister!
