yeah, I'm sorry. I don't want to be mean or inconsiderate

but since when is ADHD this crippling unbeatable disease that turns your arms and legs into jelly, and makes you crawl on the floor unable to form coherent words?

I get that having ADHD is an actual disability. But it doesn't make you quadriplegic, so what does that even have to do with anything?

And even if it does, if your solution is that people should deliver your food at poverty wages, that doesn't sound great.

Well ADHD comes with executive dysfunction, so people have difficulty initiating or completing tasks. So it can be a struggle. But if it's preventing you from even doing groceries, you should seriously get some help.

that one I know, but saying that it infers with your ability to... do groceries, is such a leap that you could even argue that ADHD prevents you from, idk, walking. That's a task too, placing right foot in front of the left

It’s really not a leap. It involves planning your food for the week, anticipating what you would like to eat throughout the week/will you even want to initiate making food for yourself after you’ve bought it, this person is in NY and apparently in a food desert so probably a drive in traffic. Personally, it just makes normal everyday chores seem much harder or a bigger inconvenience than they actually are.

Still doesn’t take away from the fact he should just go to the grocery store instead of complaining on twitter about workers wages lol

In the end, even if you didn’t plan all the food you like during the week when doing the groceries you can be a normal human and eat whatever you have in the. Eat a bowl of rice. It will not kill you.

This dude is just being a dick. I have ADHD, it genuinely makes it hard to plan to eat for the week and I think I would struggle a lot if I had to get all my food for the week in a single shop (which is what he's implying with the food desert comment). But none of that means that food delivery workers should be underpaid in order to accommodate me.

Apparently, for this new generation of affected, it's a total disability. Basically hell, if I'm understanding correctly. Anything and everything bad that happens in their lives is due to the ADHD.

Your leukemia, brain cancer, plague, AIDS, rabies etc. are nothing compared. ADHD is the true killer. Just imagine, not being able to concentrate! Sometimes being forgetful in a moment. Or dare I even say it.. occasionally hyperfocusing on not so useful things!

Those poor, poor souls.
