Absolutely don't understand how it's related to ADHD
Have you ever seen a neurotypical person actively see and step over a problem/task for multiple weeks and not do it? And like, fairly often?
Yes, my very neurotypical wife can do that. While my hyperactivity push me to unpack immediately. I just constantly forget about important things. But when I see problem I solve it immediately, even when I shouldn't.
(I'm sure there is a specific mechanism that explains it but I'm to tired to figure it out rn)
Report it to a moderator, then they can yank it.
