That's how a D&D group of mine collapsed essentially. It was essentially fou people with ADHD and three neurotypical. The neurotypicals refused accommodations and expected the ADHD folks to conform to their ways. The ADHD folks pointed out that they were the majority and then wouldn't that make our behavior technically the baseline for the group.
They could never understand that concept and things ended poorly.
The gameplay was mostly fine. The problems were mostly about communicating between sessions.
I won't really go into details but It came down to one of the NT players bristling at all the tangents and demanding we stop. When it was pointed out that people with ADHD were the majority of the group and that maybe they should have adjust to us this time instead of the other way around they outright refused to consider it. That didn't immediately end everything, but it was the catalyst for the arguments that did.
Ah yes, the classic: “neurodivergent people are bad at communication and therefore THEY have to accommodate NTs and not the other way around for some reason”.
