I tried to explain ADHD math to someone and they didn't understand at all

Edit: it appears that this is not exclusive to ADHD.

Posting this meme stemmed from my own efforts to explain my thought process when doing math and how it is similar to other people with ADHD doing math, while being different from every neurotypical person I'd talked to on the same subject.

While I didn't make the meme itself, instead finding it in my saves and wanting to share, I did accidentally spread misinformation that I had only backed up with personal anecdotal evidence.

I'll leave this up just so people can see the explanation below but this appears to not be ADHD related and just due to different people doing math in their heads differently...

This has nothing to do with ADHD... mixing up stuff is just confusing people
- I try not to be all "that's not ADHD that's just normal" here but yeah this one has nothing to do with ADHD.
  
  A Therapist told me that there is a lot of nonsense on the web, especially in the AuDHD space, and yeah it tends to go in a "you are a scorpio, you do X" way
  
  I'm a scorpio and I do X all the time
  
  This guy fucks X
  
  One of the worst parts of the latest ADHD wave
  
  And I try not to be all “I’m not ADHD and I do this” on this com, but it’s true.
