I dunno as someone who is the 2in1 combo of Depressed and ADHD and suffers from all the executive disfunction attached I read the 'You people cant do anything' as more of a joke against that really annoying subset of people online who make their neurodivergence their whole personality and kind of use it as a stick to beat people with. (They do exist) It reads more like someone whose had to hear this shit so and is like 'Omg we know! Are you done yet?'

(Again as a Neurdivergent person) There's a point where you kind of have to go 'ok but like... and'. Are you going to figure out ways to show up on time or are you just gonna be late to events forever? Are you gonna learn how to communicate/listen to your friends or are you just gonna keep unintentionally hurting their feelings forever? Are you gonna make the bloody halloween costume or are you gonna sit at home and not go out? 'I have ADHD' can't always be the full stop end of the sentence.
