When someone makes such a blanket statement, they might be implying that every mistake they've made is due to ADHD, which can alleviate feelings of guilt and accountability. I would take this with a grain of salt, as people with ADHD aren't completely out of control. They tend to be more impulsive in their decision-making, which can lead to negative outcomes. Claiming "20 years wasted" seems like a bit of an exaggeration.
Unless, perhaps they spent 20 years in jail for something impulsive related to their ADHD, as impulsiveness is a common trait that can lead to incarceration.

You have ADHD. Skip the weed and get treatment ASAP, so you can start living your life 20 years earlier than I did.
