      Is it because you’re unfamiliar with ADHD or because it doesn’t affect you that way? Because procrastination and/or mess blindness is extremely common with ADHD.

        I think they mean plenty of non-ADHD people have haphazard clothes cleanliness policies as well, so they feel this isn’t an ADHD meme.

          Pretty much all ADHD symptoms overlap to a degree with non-ADHD people, though, so it’s kind of unreasonable to say that means it’s not ADHD related. It’s not like developmental disorders compartmentalize themselves neatly into one category or severity of symptoms.

            Yeah, I’m fairly ignorant to it all but it seems like a lot of ADHD symptoms are typical issues all people deal with, just amplified?

              Pretty much, both in intensity and frequency. And when it’s something that someone without ADHD might be able to deal with or overcome fairly easily, depending on the issue for people with ADHD it can be much more difficult to do.

          Very little about ADHD is unique to ADHD because that’s not how developmental disorders work. Clearly people here found it relatable.

            Yes, it’s funny. I didn’t say it was inappropriate here.

            I think a lot of people can relate to it, that’s all.
