mhmm i mean if you missed deadlines were late or fucked up in school whats the worst that would happen youd miss recess maybe get detention maybe get grounded but as an adult depending on just where your adhd brain dropped the ball youre looking at   getting fired   getting demoted or passed over for a promotion   being evicted or foreclosed   having utilities shut off   if youre in the us losing your health insurance that you need to pay for medications therapy and other treatment   being dumped or divorced   having your kids or pets taken away   being arrested    having bad credit which can bar you from securing employment housing or a loan  and so much more there are just so many expectations and real consequences for failing to meet those expectations adulting is hard enough without throwing adhd into the mix and support for adult adhd is still pretty limited
