People are incredibly fast to claim that somebody doesn't understand how ADHD or procrastination works, just because they said something they don't quite agree with.

"throw your phone in the toilet" is not and has never been the solution to this problem in any universe under the sun, so no, it's not just because they said something I don't like. They're just backpedalling.

A lot of people seem to wear disorders like add/ADHD like an identity. At least online...

Like, I'm not a lesser person for my disorder, but I HAVE a disorder. It's my responsibility to myself to maximize my outcomes, and minimize the impacts.

Being critical of what distracts me, or triggers a tangential behavior track is so important to my being successful. In the case of cell phones, that is a known trap for even non ADHD folks, so my sharing it as relevant here isn't some wacko suggestion hah
