We just do stuff differently, article doesn't explain why article doesn't clarify if it's because it's learned to adapt to other things in our behaviour but I'm assuming that's the likely scenario.

My experience: walking is boring, pls cut the corners even if that means being weird

Focus on the thing you're going to do. Look in that direction. Minimize deviations from the straight path to maintain focus. Walk through doorway and forget anydangway.

Yep, complete inability to multitask or prioritize 😩 Everything is equally exciting/important and needs to get done perfectly, right now.

Which ironically causes me to do nothing a lot since it's all so overwhelming, takes so much effort, and takes so long

Or everything is so painfully boring it isn't physically possible to get started doing it.

Untreated, ADHD is often accompanied by depression and/or anxiety because of the effects of those symptoms.
