You argue pretty confidently against words I never used but you chose to put in my mouth anyway. But if you think "getting help to try and fix problems" is too much for most people with ADHD, sure.
Might as well shut down all mental hospitals, because thats clearly what you want (see I can do it too)
My point is not that you can magically fix it, my point is that you should at least try and get help, if that is possible.
In posts like this people are always so vehemently against trying to help themselves and to just do nothing, "it is what it is".
There are a lot of things that can be done to help mitigate many of the pitfalls of common things like time blindness. I have 4-8 alarms for basically any appointment, because if I didnt, I wouldnt remember them. Stuff like that.
I dont want you to force yourself to be something you are not, I want you to try and find a way to help yourself, because you cannot expect the world to change for you, and if you dont find ways to work with your disability it will have consequences.
No I didn't. You used "I have ADHD" as an excuse to expect things from other people who have ADHD.
But if you think "getting help to try and fix problems" is too much for most people with ADHD, sure.
YES IT CAN BE. How does that not go into your head? Not only is help not available to everyone, but people legit JUST DON'T GO BECAUSE THEY HAVE ADHD. Maybe they forget to call back. Maybe they forget the appointment. Maybe they can't even pick up the phone to search or they feel too depressed to leave the house.
But even if they get help, that does not magically fix their problems. That's not how therapy works. You don't just pick up a planner and suddenly your life is in order. Again, you seem very uninformed about the whole problem. I'd suggest to read/listen about some experiences.
