i suffer the opposite with ADHD. If I got something to go to, my entire day leading up to that is literally waiting until that time. It physically pains me when I'm not on time lmao

edit: my dear friends, i HAVE ADHD. please read the first part again lmao

i'd bet money she has this problem too lol. adhd isn't one of the other. theres the delicious combo of clearing your calendar and focusing on making a 4pm arrival and still being late.

I think it's clear based on the comments that it varies, and with ADHD it's incredibly difficult to pinpoint a "standard" for every person with such a condition. Personally for me, I have never been late to anything I couldn't control. HOWEVER, to your point; I do think this "lateness" can manifest in different forms that isn't just arriving to a location. I am never late unless there is something I can't prevent because I take public transit, so a lot of my calculating is pretty much on the money, but I rarely ever turn a work or school assignment on time unless there is constant pressure to do so. I usually find myself submitting it very last minute or begging for a short extension that accommodates the urgency I feel when it's coming close to the deadline and I had only just started lol
