To speak of ADHD is to speak of executive dysfunction.
Executive functions are like 'shortcuts' that our brains evolved.
Like how websites allows you to save your username and password or buy with one click.
Our brains can't save passwords and can't buy with a click.

They're not automatic as they need focus but they're like simplification of the process.
My classic example is that non ADHDers have automatic gears in their brains while we have manual ones.
Our brains aren't worse, but since not many drive stick, we're not taught it either.

Our brains struggle cause they are in the wrong gear and we don't know how to shift it.
We ask people around us for help but they look at us funny cause they don't have to deal with gear.
They never had to deal with gears and just assume we're bad drivers making excuses.

I really fucking butchered this thread. The possessive words are all over the place.
I used the word 'our' to describe human brains and ADHD brains without giving context to indicate I switched.
Guys, does the thread make sense or should I delete it and put up a clearer one?
