DISCLAIMER/COMMON CONCERN:

_The key takeaways in regards to "isn't this normal? Doesn't everyone feel like this?" should be the difference between people experiencing something once in a while, versus to an amount where it has an uncommon or negative impact on day-to-day life.

Everybody has a hard time focusing once in a while, and no one loves washing the dishes, but to someone with ADHD those tasks would be harder to get done than for a "neurotypical" person and would happen and be problematic at a greater frequency.

Someone in the comments compared it to eating when you're not hungry. There's "i'm not hungry, but I could eat", and theres "oh my god I really do not want to eat right now, the idea is kind of nauseating and I'd have to force myself to" and that is a good metaphor for executive dysfunction and how it can feel to start a task as someone with ADHD.

Additionally, symptoms can easily be from other conditions. In my video about autism I compare autism and BPD and how they look alike but have big differences, like autism being something you are born with and BPD typically developing after childhood!

It's why I encourage people to do well sourced and thorough research. Its not just being quirky! Its literally a disability! It's not something you just do one online screening test for. Its something you should see a doctor about!

I will also say that rates of ADHD are something like 3%-8% of people or something, and if the algorithm is doing a good job, this might be showing up more for people who would find personal relevance; something not too unlikely if the rates of ADHD aren't very rare :)_
