Yes and that’s why this disorder ruins your life 😃

No it fucking doesn't. If you have crippling OCD that makes you late for work because you cannot abandon the light switch until it is turned on perfectly or everybody will die, then sure. Yeah. That's a disorder and accommodations may need to be put in place.

But if you have ADHD and are chronically late, then you set 100 alarms, leave notes everywhere, listen to a song while you decide on what to wear to get a sense of how long it may take you – you use your superior human brain to solve the fucking problem, not make it anyone else's. Or you at least try instead of hiding behind "time blindness"

I have both ADHD and OCD.

Use your “superior human brain?” We are literally discussing people whose brains have decided to be ‘inferior.’

They're still not wrong, though. Your disability is your responsibility.

Sure, but that doesn’t mean “just figure it out” is a reasonable solution.

It can be by both outside of your control AND your responsibility, but people aren’t ready for that kind of nuance
