You’re reading too much into my comments. I was not making a statement about ADHD. I was just complaining that the caption “Executive dysfunction isn’t just about things we don’t want to do” is unnecessary because that is the assumed case, ADHD or not.
Yes. If you don’t experience that, I’m thrilled for you!
I’m currently off sick and despite having formal diagnosis for both ADHD and Autism, and having assessments done by primary care and occupational therapists, I still get told it’s a skill issue.
Funny how before the diagnosis it was “just work less!” Now that I am asking for accommodations like meeting agendas and minutes I’m just not organized enough.

So is taking a shit, but if you’re doing it 40 times a day you see a doctor.
ADHD doesn’t turn you into an alien. It’s a developmental disorder that makes everyday tasks harder.

Yes, the whole point is that executive dysfunction also stops you from doing the things you do want to do! (There is no «don’t» in the thought bubble)
It also stops you from doing things you don’t want to do more often than for most people.
Ya, so what is the caption “Executive dysfunction isn’t just about things we don’t want to do” about? Why does it assume the readers don’t know that?
To counter the stereotypes that ADHD is a lack of willpower and is just laziness.
…in year 2026?
Yeah I have it and I still do that to myself… In the year of some Lord 2026
Yes, very much so! Or not even stereotypes, just the inability of «normal» people to understand how it can possibly be the case.
For most people it is (understandably) difficult to believe that it is hard to do things you want to do even when you have the opportunity to do them.
It’s not. Most people couldn’t finish books / games / etc they enjoy. The truly motivated are the rare ones.
Comrade…are you finding these memes too relatable?
Ya. I think the comic is relatable enough and the caption is not necessary.
Yes. If you don’t experience that, I’m thrilled for you!

Remember the first rule of this space!
The meme is about not doing thing you like doing.
So the opposite of what you thought it was.
