> ADHD isn't really an excuse. I have ADD. The only thing that separates me from someone who doesn't is it takes 20-30 minutes or so of being distracted before getting into "hyper focus" mode and getting things done.

This works for some things but not all for me. Also there is no universal add or adhd experience.

For me the difference between work ethic on adhd meds versus without is night and day.

I'm not lazy without them, it's just all of my energy can get consumed by a million other things than the task at hand.
