The ADHD urge to lie about why you didn't do something because "my brain refused to start on it" doesn't make sense to a lot of neurotypicals.

@adhd

This behavior has gotten me into a lot of shit over the years😬🤦‍♂️

This is why I love my current job and my friendship group's. In both circles "I didn't do that because I've been struggling with my ADHD" is a completely valid reason.

I mean, at work it's followed by a short "what do we do to get over that hurdle?" because obviously I can't just, not do my job.

But at least I'm not having to make shit up, and I can actually get to the root of the problem (being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world) and address it. Even if addressing it is just my boss giving me a fake deadline to put the pressure on the task.
