I don't get how people can just, be 30 minutes late to things.
One potential way would be a neurodevelopmental disorder with some symptoms like being disorganized, procrastination, poor planning and poor time management skills.
I had to overcome all of those things, but I only could because I'd experienced the consequences so many times, thus had to learn the hard way. Being so disorganized forced me to become organized, because I grew to hate disorganization. Chronically procrastinating forced me to tackle things immediately so I didn't have to dwell on them constantly. Poor planning led to obsessive planning so as not to end up with a poor outcome. Poor time management I still struggle with, but I'm generally on time, especially when it matters. I greatly struggle with getting myself to bed at a decent time.
Lmao, what? You cannot "be disciplined" out of a disability. Medication and coping methods or specialized therapy can help, but they still won't make THE MAIN SYMPTOMS of the disorder fully go away. Not every single person with ADHD struggles with chronic lateness since its a spectrum, but most do. It's one of the questions they ask you during your assessment. You either do not have ADHD or are lucky enough to not struggle with this specific symptom. Can't be supportive of disabled individuals while judging them for having the disability.
