#But y'all inattentives arguably get the short end of the stick a lot of the time

You know what's fun?

They seem to have made Percy more on the inattentive end of ADHD than hyperactive. Aside from the capture the flag scene, we mostly just see him zoning out, 'daydreaming', the line "I don't think it's the marshmallow's fault I never pay attention".

ADHD barely gets good representation as it is, but I don't think I've ever seen the inattentive type in media like this before. This is going to be huge for a lot of people who don't fall under the hyperactive stereotype umbrella.

I'm just really excited that more people will get the chance to see themselves.

#percy jackson #I'm actually combined type so this doesn't fully apply to me #But y'all inattentives arguably get the short end of the stick a lot of the time #So I'm genuinely thrilled for you #and that they went this direction #especially since hyperactive is probably easier to portray as adhd and have the audience get it #percy jackon and the olympians #adhd
