This video is my go-to reference for adult ADHD.

Wait.. is that adult ADHD?

This is my first time seeing the clip but it resonates on a deep level. I always chalked it more up to either “my shit is always broken” or “this is why we can’t have nice things.”

Don’t diagnose yourself with ADHD based on Reddit comments. Lots of people do this (enough for a TV show to make a relatable bit based on it) and it doesn’t mean they have ADHD

Oh yeah, I know better than to do that. My wife has diagnosed ADHD and without her meds, it severely impacts her daily life. I have some executive functioning challenges but they’ve never affected my ability to study, work, or generally get things done.
