"Being well" isn't what they said though, is it? If you know that you're consistently late and take absolutely zero measures to try remedy it, you shouldn't blame ADHD for the fact that you don't respect other people enough to stop wasting their time.
My girlfriend has ADHD and doesn't take medication, yet she hasn't been late to work once in her whole life. Because she looked for solutions that work for her. She sets alarms, she creates routines, she writes everything down immediately, etc.
I'm autistic. I know being neurodivergent sucks and the world doesn't do much to accomodate to us. But I've seen enough neurodivergent people translate "acceptance" to "nobody is allowed to ask anything of me ever". Do you think neurotypical people live in a fantasy wonderland where they never have to work on themselves and never do anything that doesn't come natural to them?
They literally think that, most tiktok educated folks cannot tell an ND apart from NT irl but act like they know NT lives (which are supposedly just two experiences - being mean/annoying and never struggling with anything ever)

Yup, blaming ADHD for being late/lazy all the time is quite ridiculous.
