    No feathers ruffled.

    A lot of ADHD symptoms are variants on normal burn out. The difference is the trigger level and severity.

    By analogy, it’s like going for a run. Everyone gets tired etc. ADHD is like going for a run with an invisible parachute deployed behind you. You can still run, but it’s exhausting. You are also a lot more prone to being knocked about by cross winds etc. Unfortunately, without a sense of scale, the problems all sound like the same issues a normal person has running.
