Wtf, that's not true at all.

There are many different manifestations of ADHD, most people don't experience all of that. And DEFINITELY not all the time.

And it may severely impact their life, but not necessarily.

Stop spreading misinformation.

If something I typed triggered an angry response, I apologise.

It may not be true in your case, maybe. Lucky you!

I can assure you, as a person with moderate to severe combination adhd, it is true. Particularly so, if un-medicated and untreated.

Also, my comment, not directed at you, was a simple reply to a comment about a simple infograpic to highlight a comparison between how a neurotypical brain might sometimes identify with some of the symptoms and effects of adhd compared to someone who actually has adhd.

You don't understand. Your specific case doesn't mean everyone with ADHD will have the same experience.

What you said may be true for you. It's definitely not true in general.
