Have you ever thought, "Omg this is a simple thing. Why can't I just do it?!?!"

There's a reason "easy" things can be so hard for those of us with neurodivergent brains.

And it's not because you suck.

It's because we often don't recognize what executive disfunction looks or feels like irl.

We just think we can't get our sh*t together, but the reality is that we can't do what some other people do with ease because of how our brains work. It's a biological reality that our brains function differently.
