One of the reasons why people do not recognize ADHD as a disability is that they view the difficulties associated with it (in organization, order, punctuality, communication, etc.) as personal shortcomings.

@Skorpy In my experience (32yrs without diagnose+5yrs diagnosed) most people just don't care about your personal problems.
Yes, they see having ADHD as yet another personal problem. They will tell you to jump *this* high, and if you can't do it, you're out of luck. There are 100 people waiting in line that maybe can do 50-60% of what you can do but are not as annoying, so why even care?
