Very well. I shall never forget this experience.
I don't really understand if this is a negative or positive experience, but I just wanted to add that like you said some of the things listed are common for many people without ADHD. But people with ADHD can relate to many or all of the things listed in the post, and it often irks them when people without ADHD talk about the disorder as something insignificant. Maybe you didn't mean to do that but it does seem to be insensitive. Thanks for understanding.
It's both negative and positive. I wasn't aware of that rule, so good job pointing it out to me.
I do have ADHD and I experience most/all of these, I just never thought they are all directly traceable to ADHD. What I thought - which perhaps wasn't clear - is that these are all distinct disorders, which are just as much out of one's control as ADHD, but which are not necessarily symptoms of ADHD itself.
I did preface with "I'm no expert", and I can see that I might be wrong. I'm happy to leave my comment up and let the downvotes and replies do their thing.
