Yep, but you’re trying. No one with actual ADHD is ever going to fully overcome it. I’m referring to the people who magically have crippling ADHD when it comes to being responsible with anything (Chores, a job, etc.) But if its something they want to do they’re magically fine. They can listen to instructions and follow them keenly when their family is taking them paragliding, but they couldn’t wash a dish for 8 seconds.
My understanding is that this is because it’s a dopamine problem. Some (many?) ADHD folks are wired such that they only function when their brains’ reward centers are getting pinged. That’s why they struggle with chores or bills or other ‘adult’ tasks that require focus but no feeling of reward or satisfaction until much later. According to my partner it’s a source of a tremendous amount of guilt and self-esteem problems.

That’s part of ADHD for a lot of people: hyperfixation/focus on topics that interest them, and struggles otherwise.

So I guess AuADHD just doesn’t exist to you then, huh? You have no clue about proper mental health and the challenges people experience.
Seriously, shut the fuck up.

It’s on a scale. Some ARE that disabled, like down syndrome tier disabled.
As for me, even if I was, I’m still getting paid, and the only way someone is finding out is if I accidentaly kill someone (serves them right).
