The problem is that a lot of examples people use are not the ones turned up to 11. I have ADHD but I don’t tell people I lock my door walk 4 steps and realize I was thinking about other things and therefore have no idea if I did and have to fix it. Because lots of people do that

Stuff like re-arranging your room every 2 months due to flashes of inspiration, sure. Getting frustrated because you had the brilliant idea to do two things last night and now you can’t decide which takes priority, sure. Endlessly scrolling on Netflix? Nah

Who can forget the classic: getting a flash of inspiration when you’re trying to get to sleep and you end up focused on said topic for God knows how long. But your sleep quality that night is ruined as your brain just runs away with it.

So it means that we can’t post stuff that ADHD people find far more relatable than your average folks because they also experience it from time to time? It kinda kills the purpose of this sub imo. :/

This is an ADHD community, we don’t tell that to “people” we tell that to other ADHD folks. I don’t see why the posts should be made in a way that would suit people that don’t have ADHD.
