  • Background - I have struggled my whole life with life. My apartment is constantly messy save a few weeks out of the year, my insurance goes un updated and I drive illegally, I do not speak to people for days on end (family included), deadlines are almost never met, the phrase ‘anything without immediate and serous consequence, is invisible and impossible to do’ is very accurate to my entire life.

    This sounds like moderate to severe executive dysfunction which, while a common hallmark of ADHD, can also manifest in other contexts like ASD, PTSD, depression and anxiety, neurological & neurodegenerative conditions, etc.

    Question: Is ADHD/ADD really this debilitating, or must it be a combination of things?

    It absolutely can be this debilitating all on it’s own

    Why isnt this treated as a severe disability?

    ADHD is recognized legally and medically as a disability, and its severity can range from mild to severe. It doesn’t get treated as a severe disability by the general public because it’s an “invisible” disability, which don’t get much respect, plus most people’s exposure to ADHD is to cases that aren’t severe

    I initiated an assessment with a psychologist outside of my insurance coverage as it has been too difficult for me to navigate the system so I am paying out of pocket.

    Gonna DM you about this
