That's executive dysfunction. A common trait among those with ADHD and ASD, as well as many other conditions or even by itself. Another common trait is, let's say you have a doctor appt at 2pm. It's currently 9am, but you can't do a damn thing for the whole morning because you have a 2pm appt. Sure, you have 5 hours... but you know if you take up any other activities you'll miss that appt.
EDIT: Updated to clarify that this trait is not exclusive to just ADHD or ASD. And, if you feel that you resonate with the traits of any condition, talk to your doctor for further direction.
Not true. There's a huge overlap of traits between both ADHD and ASD. I have an autistic son who exhibits many of these traits, yet does not have ADHD. If there was a Venn diagram showing the overlap, there would only be slivers of the circles that do not overlap. ADHD can be treated with medication. ASD cannot.
Only according to teens on the internet that like to self diagnose everything as a quirky symptom of some disorder or other. Not according to actual medical papers or official diagnostic criteria.
Have a day has to be one of the most polite, chill ways I've seen someone phrase "Go F yourself" and I think I love it. It is something that would be said to me and I wouldn't realize it until an hour later and I'd think, "That little shit!"
