Seriously. I have clinically diagnosed adhd and this isn’t something that comes up. The biggest thing I notice is not being able to focus on something I’m interested in for more than a half hour but something I’m interested in I can work on genius levels remembering shit. I also have no concept of large amounts of time. My wife can say she remembered doing this thing in march of 2015 but I can only remember date ranges of big milestones like when my children were born and when I got my first car, got into a certain job I loved etc. adhd isn’t that big of a thing, just a hinderance to certain boring things in life and everyone probably has some level of it. And here I am talking about having it…….

same. i hate talking about it. i legitimately struggle with everyday tasks and constant tics unless i take my medication, and have like legitimate administration-approved accommodations because of this shit. it’s an actual neurological manifestation of severe childhood trauma, and people who don’t actually have it or are self diagnosed throw it in everyone’s face like a quirk. not trying to gatekeep or be a dick, but i really hate when i have to explain that no, it’s not just “tap my foot, i can’t focus,” i have a legitimate severe case of this shit lmao.
