I got diagnosed with ADHD at 40 but up till now I'd just assumed I was a bad lazy person who's badness at life was the reason for all of my various problems. Stuff like this has me wondering if ... perhaps I was not just awful and lazy all the time?
so many people with executive dysfunction have come to this realization thru memes ❤️
I would add: beyond executive dysfunction, people who also have low intrinsic motivation (ability to "just do it") and/or difficulty initiating, are also not bad people!
while it is our responsibility to always work on and improve our weak points, these aspects of temperament exist as they are, no matter how much moralizing busybodies insist otherwise.
