ADHD os fine. It’s neurotypicals not understanding us that sucks.

I would not wish ADHD on anyone. The small amount of upsides and crisis superpowers will never be enough to make up for the daily struggle to be a functional adult. If I could be rid of it and every other mental health issue I have, I would without a second thought. Don't get me wrong, other people understanding us helps, but it is still a curse and a burden.

ADHD has gifted me with an overwhelming drive to take on every single project and activity that comes to mind. ADHD also makes it incredibly difficult to actually do any of those projects and activities because no matter how hard I try to fight it, I will eventually need to stop and sleep.

There will always be fewer hours in the day than I need. No nueurotypicals need to be involved for it to just plain suck. If I had infinite time and resources, it would probably be awesome

Dunno about that. There's nothing I feel "fine" with about having the working memory of a goldfish, being stuck in decision paralysis at the mere idea of taking a shower or brushing my teeth, or not being able to do anything I don't feel like doing if there's no urgency. No neurotypicals involved in any of that. Just my brain making my own life harder than it could be.
