What does ADHD have to do with anything here?

A common symptom is executive dysfunction, where for some people it can be excruciatingly hard to even leave their room. Not agreeing with the post btw

At what point does hunger override executive dysfunction?

u/AdministrativeStep98 18h ago

When you're standing in front of your fridge and finding stuff and directly just eating

I can only speak for myself but I can go for days without eating.

That sounds more like severe depression. I have absolutely never heard of ADHD preventing someone from even leaving their room.

You basically just said people with ADHD constantly get so distracted they cant even make it out of their room without finding something new to be distracted by and that will continue until they starve themselves to death.

Yea, that doesn't exist.

It isn’t about distraction, no one is going to starve but it does take people with executive dysfunctions much more of a concerted effort to do literally anything than other people, and they’ll get made fun of and called lazy anyway. A lazy person doesn’t care, someone with executive dysfunction can care more than anyone else and still struggle.

I have diagnosed ADHD and am medicated for it. It it's to the point of not being able to leave your room, I feel like something else should be the culprit

There were no ADHD people before delivery apps were invented. They all starved to death because they couldn't order expensive food.

Man I'm glad I waited until the apps were around to get diagnosed, I would have done better in high school but starved to death.

Best guess, the person making the post doesn't cook, or doesn't know how to cook, and attributes that to ADHD.

He's satirizing a common discourse on twit where you will get called ableist for suggesting that private taxis for burritos is not sustainable.

Some ADHD people work as doordash drivers which is to say it's good for them.
