I don't think dishes and laundry are a socio-economic problem unless you're implying all ADHD people should always be able to afford household help and assistance. Plenty of people with disabilities and challenges have to deal with chores as a function of being alive, including ADHD people. It's a part of existence that your clothes will need washing, trash will need to be taken out, and I agree that not doing them is a bad thing. The timetable, the consequences of inaction, the associated stress, all of that can be variable and that is where flexibility should be given, but ffs ADHD people should and need to do chores too.

Yes, I think adhd people who can't do housechores should have assistance for it, and in turn they would provide what they can to society. If that is not possible because "they can't afford it" then the system that requires monetary compensation is at fault.

There's plenty of people who like doing chores and don't like doing what adhd people are doing. These two groups can collaborate.

I don’t disagree with you, but I don’t see that happening for a while.

It’s hard enough to get people to say that people deserve to have food, water, and shelter.

Although this does sound like a great “Be the change you want to see in the world.” thing!

You could start a Facebook group or something in your town, make it like a co-op thing!

It's why I say it's a socioeconomic problem and not a personal problem.

Also my hands are quite full in the mutual aid department, 😁
