Listening to this raised a question for me. Is this definitely a trait of ADHD, or a byproduct of tendency towards neurotypical discrimination against ADHD as lazy? You state that we tend to get taken advantage of, which I definitely agree with, but I don’t remember that trait occurring until I hit middle school and started doing worse in school. After that, I was constantly compensating for my “laziness”, as my mother didn’t believe I had ADHD, and I wasn’t diagnosed til age 31. I would be interested to hear how studies measure up on this trait with an even pool of people who were supported in their diagnosis, and those who weren’t.
