I have ADHD, was diagnosed just over a year ago and it's been non-stop "oh shit so that's why". However the amount of people telling me it's not a real thing or "everyone has those struggles" is frustrating.
But I'm always open to talk about it with others and talk about "hey I do/have/struggle with that too" because... it's exactly what made me search for a psychiatrist which lead to my diagnosis. Like most subjects, it depends on context and how you are approaching the subject. And maybe just try and make your intentions clear and upfront.
Like "I have that too, what do you do to try to circumvent it" is very different than "I have that too, everyone does, just XYZ"
