I wouldn't hazard a guess. But it is absolutely true that ADHD can go along with inattention when people are talking to you, which can cause misunderstandings.

I wouldn't hazard a guess. But it is absolutely true that ADHD can go along with inattention when people are talking to you, which can cause misunderstandings. My daughter particularly struggles with that when she reads, and will often have to re-read a passage several times until she can pay enough attention to understand it. (The more boring the passage, the harder she finds it.)

That is probably what is happening . Before I knew what it was , friends , family and myself just called it zoning out. Made for very awkward work meetings when asked what I thought on something. I wish I could give some useful advice. But all I can really say STAY ON TOP IT. My big issues have been. What's interesting today is often boring tomorrow. Lateness. Anything even slightly bad will keep getting genuinely put off until "tomorrow" That goes for all aspects of life, bills, car maintenance. It doesn't matter that I have they money sitting there to pay a bill , I'll still sit on it until I'm told it's overdue. Or in the cars case the gear that's dodgy for year will no longer work. edit: i'll also mention avoid short form social media video. I think all the anti-tiktok stuff is overblown. But (just my opinion) it's ADHD kryptonyte.
