>As a non-ADHD person, I hate all of the above tasks and only do them because it's part of adulting. 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"

^^^^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.
