I think this is not just an ADHD trait.
The internets obsession with ADHD is annoying. No not everything is ADHD.
Seems like a bit of crap thing to come out with in a specifically ADHD group; why are you here?
Because not everything is ADHD?
Can alcoholics blame everything they do on alcohol? No.
Are you a unlikable person because you’re depressed? No.
Are you less than a human bean because you don’t drive? No.
Who you are is not defined because of those.
I’m just saying. Not everything you do is because of ADHD.
No one is saying it is.
Not everything is ADHD, but ADHD does affect brain functions which are common to most humans.
It doesn’t give us a distinctive blue head or hot dogs for fingers, it manifests in subtle ways. Hence the post.
There are no traits exclusive to ADHD. Even executive dysfunction isn’t completely unique to ADHD…
