^^^^yes. it's different than procrastination. it's MORE than procrastination. if part of my is scared of a certain task (because stress is biologically the same as fear), it's sometimes like my brain wont't "let" me do it. even if i try, I'll sit there thinking about it torturing myself instead of getting it over-with. it truly is crippling at times. I know it sounds dramatic to non_ADHD and neurotypical people, but if you are committed to making an equitable space, you have to trust and believe that the disabled person is telling you the truth.
The difference being my wife breaks down in tears every 3 months because she woke up to dishes in the sink _again_ and wasn't able to use her coffee cup because, though I meant to do them and said I would, I wound up not doing them.
That was the first 5 years of my marriage. Repeat for laundry. Repeat for trash.
For work I was on a list of 5 people out of 1000 person company who's names had gone all the way to the CEO for not filling out timesheets correctly.
I hope that makes the problem a little clearer for those who think "but everyone has trouble with that stuff"
