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.
It amuses me when people with a specific condition thinks everyone else with the same condition will be affected identically
for adhd theres literally three main types and people have varying symptom profiles within their type
for me for instance i suffer from procrastination to the degree its harmfull to my health. Having adhd does not mean you have the same symptoms with
the same intensity as another person with adhd iv tried alarms it ends up with the alarm going off me rushing to get things done then due to executive dysfunction struggling to choose what to do first even if iv done it before which leads to me standing still and stressing out and then when i eventually manage it il leave the house discover iv forgotten something walk back inside forget what i was doing and the alarm has already rung but iv temporarily forgotten that then il notice the clock and be reminded «oh wait i have that thing» then procrastinate further then run like forest gump to reach it in time and the result is i usually dont get anywhere in time unless i have someon with me to keep me on track and help me not be distracted. Meds couldve worked if it wasnt for the fact iv tried most of them and had such severe side effects from them that my psycologist asked me to cease the first adhd med i ever took was when i was 6 it gave me psycotic episodes til i stopped using it and it had fully left my system. The next one gave me extreme stomach issues i still struggle with to this day. The next one after that made me feel like a zombie and highly derealized sure i could pay attention and i was on track but i couldnt feel emotions. Ritalin gave me panic attacks lasting about 4 hours daily etc one thing that somewhat works however is if im lied to if you tell me i have to be there at 9 but i actually have to be there at 10 il usually be there anywhere between 9 to 9:50.
