It means struggling to complete basic tasks. Like showing up for an appointment. Remembering that thing someone asked you to do. Or a commitment you made to someone else. Remembering to do your taxes. And actually doing them when your reminder goes off for the 10th time. It’s a complete lack of motivation to do anything that isn’t interesting. It has everything to do with how our brains process dopamine. And an ADHD brain struggles with it. It even looks different from a non-ADHD brain[1][2][3]. You can’t really know what it’s like to live with ADHD unless you have it. I think your entire argument around a dislike for disciplining is misguided. It might make them conform more to authority figures (out of a fear for their life). But they will not suddenly develop an ability to focus better on the task in front of them. They can’t, biologically. So please give them a break, and don’t speak for them.
