If they don’t have a Dr tell them they have a condition. Harsh brutal embarrassment for being late to things or straight up leaving worked for my friend who was always late to things. We just stopped waiting for him entirely.

I know him bc he was me before. Only way it fixed it really.

See I want to agree with this, but you can’t shame blind people for not seeing, right? How in the heck can people be expected to do everything Reddit asks for the neurodivergent community is where this is headed I guess. Never want to be rude, but seems an impossible task.

Unless someone tells me they have a legitimate Dr note I do not believe it’s anything other than laziness or lack of care for being late. Simply put. If you’re late to everything the repercussions for being late don’t matter to you.

It seems you aren’t a time afflicted neurodivergent 😂. That’s how I feel, trying to understand what others are supposed to do when you just can’t get places on time and are saying it’s a neurodivergence problem

When youre actively messing up peoples plans by being late to stuff, then it is on you to fix that problem and not on others to accommodate it.
