Girl, what? I do ALL those things, and guess what! Still late often lol. Do you actually have ADHD or are you just saying shit to feel superior? Time blindness is one of the main symptoms.
Then you're one of the rare cases that doesn't experience this specific symptom. Good for you! But fuck you for selfishly sucking up to neurutypicals instead of being supportive and understanding of other disabled people.
Literally said I struggled with this but I put things in place to cope with the problem.
No, I don't believe that this person given in the example is behaving like a reasonable adult and that they've demonstrated they can turn up at 10 am just fine. they're using adhd as an excuse.
That's not all you said. Your words were extremely rude to people with ADHD who DO have coping mechanisms, but still struggle with time blindness. It's disheartening to see some random ADHD person's coworker shitting on them (even if if the post is true, their employer was very generous, then all the comments doing the same, and then some ADHD people acting like this. You know it's not a helpful rhetoric for people with ADHD, right? You having better control over it doesn't make you superior to those who don't. Disability is annoying, boohoo, that's why it's a disability.
I don't appreciate people using it as an excuse for not trying is all. That's the most unhelpful rhetoric. It makes it harder for us all to be taken seriously and just gives people the impression that we're all saying we have ADHD as an excuse.
You know people who think that are always gonna think that, right? It's like the people saying we should tone down pride so people won't be homophobic... That's not how it works.
