A friend recently commented “Of course you have ADHD! Just look at your apartment! Spots that are important for your hobbies are designed with surgical precision and everything else slowly sinks into chaos.”
My kids got screening forms for ADHD and I just kept saying “but this is normal” after almost all of the questions, I thought they were control questions not screening questions, and my kids were like “no, Mom, you have ADD”. I still tend to think it’s pretty typical though, more like our brains just weren’t evolved for modern life.
