Great points. I like that way of articulating it — the expectation to solve “normal” problems with normal solutions is actually quite reasonable when you frame it that way.

That’s actually a very important aspect of all of this. As hard as it is to have ADHD and have to do the whole square peg in a round hole thing, it’s understandably hard for the people around us as well. It’s totally forgivable to expect what works for them to work for us.
