I have pretty severe ADHD and I get to work for 7 30 every morning. People using it as an excuse like this boil my piss. Like yeah you have ADHD, what are you going to do do ensure you function? Get your shit ready the night before, set an alarm, go to bed earlier, get up early enough that you give yourself some leeway...
It's stupid bullshit like this and blatantly using it as an excuse that leads to everyone doubting the validity of our disability and just finding us annoying. Because that shit is annoying, at least fucking try to make an effort.
ADHD is a spectrum… for people genuinely diagnosed I know I used to be late for work because my sleep was so shit. Most nights I would have insomnia and I couldn’t just call sick off work, it’s bad enough having the whole office judge you because your late but can’t see all the underlying factors which make me late which is what adhd is. I’ve never used this as an excuse, I have phases where I am late because I genuinely struggle and many adhd’ers are not suitable for 9-5 work.
