honestly ive probably lost multiple jobs because of this and i feel it plays into the whole stereotyping of adhd people from a young age as oppositionaldefiance types    strangely once i was studying for an audio engineering degree and later in a problem-solving job where knowing the why of things was important - it became an advantage in many situations   at work and in education though i found it really rubbed up against the kind of linear-thinking people who frequently ended up in positions of authority had some mates who were ex-military and because of that kind of indoctrination into strict heirarchies of either doing as youre told or telling people what to do i really struggled when they got super-angry at like a basic disagreement theres also a manager at my work who i think for years just assumed i was disagreeing for the sake of it and seemed surprised when id agree with a good idea or hed finally explain something and id be like oh ok yeah that makes sense now     personally i dont think its our problem - people need to learn to explain themselves and ive frequently found later that those people who dont want to explain themselves either have shit reasons for doing things havent thought their actions through or simply have no inclination to improve anything
