A lot of my family has ADD and ADHD. I know what its like, and I know its something that you don't have control over. I bet its really hard dealing with it. I wish you the best of luck, and hopefully you can get past it <3.
Also a good place to put these is in the "Off Topic" part of the forums, as it is not about Manacube itself :).

There are things that are far worse than battling ADHD or ASD or ADD.
Most times I just find myself in a grey area bcuz when I'm with a bunch of my friends who have different disabilities, they mark me as higher functioning compared to them...
But when I'm at school, with my peers who don't have any significant disabilities (some may have ADHD or ASD) I am out of my environment... it gets weird and hard to idk, just be me. I feel like I've had a pretty good group of friends, but Grade 9 was especially hard for me because the boys would always pick on me for liking certain things. Grade 10 was slightly better, but at the same time... I had a breakdown and started screaming and yelling in class crying doing everything a NORMAL highschooler WOULDN'T do.
The teacher had to move the class, and I was sent home. All because I couldn't deal with the boys calling me a furry. And I'm well aware of my actions on Manacube which aren't very acceptable at times, I believe there is a pattern to all this.
When I'm on the internet, I can try to hide the fact I have autism, but I can't get rid of it... so I still have those barriers, and sometimes it's harder to overcome them because people can lie or make jokes but you wouldn't know because you can't see their body language or facial expressions. Same with when someone is uncomfortable, you wouldn't know that unless the person clearly explains they are uncomfortable.
But for the love of Minecraft, I am not trying to say that just because I have autism means I can be excused from my past actions, and I'm well aware of that... it just sometimes takes me more than a frigging hour mute to actually learn anything or change anything. So yeah, maybe that's why I am where I am now...
I've heard people say it's easier to make friends on the internet, because there are no consequences for your actions. I harshly disagree with this statement, and coming from a player who has fifteen mutes? I think I know what I'm talking about.... and I'm pretty sure the staff would agree, but what do I know? I'm just a random player that goes by the name "Cookie Kat." My voice is irrelevant hah.
