I found the premise of this article rather insulting and ignorant. People with ADHD don’t have difficulty with tasks, motivation, procrastination because our brains crave the easy way. Quite to the contrary. I speak for myself in that my motivation, procrastination, lack of ability to complete tasks, etc. is quite exclusively due to the boring simplicity or monotonous repetition of a task or process. The ADHD brain that lacks motivation is because it is easy not because it is too difficult. We don’t find thinking or problem solving taxing, the opposite is true. We may seek pleasure and a slight hit of dopamine in our starved minds, but that is exactly what “motivates” us. If we will enjoy it, we will do it and likely hyperfocus on it and complete it, solve it, organize it, compose it far more superiorly and in far less time than the typical neuronormative human. It is obvious to this simple ADHD sufferer for 48 years, only to be diagnosed less than 5 years ago, that you sir, do NOT suffer from the same afliction as do the rest of us.
