What’s kind of lost in your sentiment, but it’s nonetheless necessary to understand, is that ADHD experiences exist on a spectrum, as do normative ones. We are the ones who draw the boxes around biology and decide that “five times a week is normal but six is not.”
The key part of ADHD that makes it distinct is the final D(isorder). Disorder means it’s a behavior or tendency that’s causing disruption or otherwise preventing you from living in a way that makes you feel safe, whole, or stable. It brings disorder instead of order.
So while I agree that frequency can point to ADHD, my SO experiences this particular phenomenon about as much as I do, and I have high confidence that they do not have ADHD. Sometimes, it’s just a common human experience.
It’s kind of astonishing that you so closely grasp the point and then fling it as far away as possible.
Then how do you have any right speaking on behalf of so many other people who do have ADHD when you’re basing this anecdotally?
Astounding you’ll say “lost in your sentiment”, say ADHD is a spectrum, and then flatly say this cannot fall within it.
