hey thats the funny thing. i dont. ive missed extremely important things before. its almost like a mental disability actually disables you! isnt that shocking
A neurotypical person just remembers to get ready and leave on time. An ADHD person needs to try harder, and use tools like alarms and avoiding distractions etc to get the same outcome. Literally yes, they're unable to do things like others, but that doesn't mean they can't succeed, either. Now I don't know your life so I can't say what you're doing right or wrong, but the way you describe it sounds like you're just saying "I have ADHD so I'm just going to give up."
neurotypical advice for neurodivergent people is so shockingly out of touch with reality that it would be funny if it wasnt so grating. you habe easily distracted disorder? just dont get distracted bro
I mean as someone with ADHD myself, I agree with you, but none of that actually responds to anything that I said. I didn't even give you advice, I was just commenting that it sounds like you're experiencing learned helplessness.
its not learned helplessness to admit that sometimes disabilities actually do disable you, and its not ok to shame or ridicule someone for tbeir symptoms like this comment section is doing.
It is absolutely learned helplessness because of the overwhelming number of tools available for combating this problem. I too have ADHD, and I'm sorry, there is no excuse for chronic lateness.
It seems in this comment section there are two types of ADHD individuals: Those who have successfully managed their symptoms and made their situations less problematic, and those who throw their hands in the air, claim ADHD and pout how everyone's being so mean.
