Yeah everyone forgets things but how many people have ever had their car repossessed while also having enough money to pay off the whole loan because the crappy bank that gave the best interest rate doesn't have a convenient autopay system?

I don't think people are thinking of absolution when they recognize these kinds of things are part of their disorder. It's commiserating with your fellow sufferers on the absurd, counterintuitive, and inconsistent nature of the damn thing.

Your bank almost certainly has a way to mail checks on a schedule.

Thanks for sharing but there is no need to help solution this example that happened more than a decade ago.

The original poster of this comment chain said something minimizing the severity and impact ADHD can have in a person's life to the effect of "everyone forgets things, get over yourself"

My comment explains that there is a casual level of forgetful and an ADHD level of self sabotaging forgetful which is one of the things that makes it a disorder and not just a person who is a little careless.
