it's called executive dysfunction

Which should be the name instead of ADHD.

To be blunt, the stigma of typicals around adult ADHD is so severe that for most people I just tell them I have an executive function disorder.

It usually confuses them into learning what the issue actually is rather than their perception of what ADHD is.

Look, I'm bad at life because my brain does things wrong, okay?

Hey! I do that too! Instead of saying I have trouble committing names/dates/verbal info, I just tell folks I have a short term memory disorder. Which is true! I need to mess up someone's name or an important piece of info like 5 times until I cement it in, with guilt and embarrassment.
