While I feel that this is a little unfair on people with ADHD, it's definitely very true that it's a disorder heavily characterized by an inability to practice mindfulness. As such, it can be nearly impossible, especially from the inside, and most especially in the moment, to determine when Something I Did Wrong was because of ADHD, or because I've been too cavalier about things like planning and note-taking.

It could be unfair; I hope that it isn't. It certainly reflects my personal experience and my perception of friends, family, and peers who live with ADHD. It's not meant to be insulting or critical at all.

Perhaps it's true of all people though, and it's revealed much more so when your atypical traits go against the grain. I've wondered about this quite a bit over the years.
