So check me on this,

the childhood thing where you’re assumed to be smart enough that something’s intuitive therefore there’s NO instruction, OR something’s poorly explained because it’s assumed you’ll remember these small details, SO you then get it wrong and that’s interpreted as you’re stupid, innately inept, or just willfully wrong;

Is that an ADHD experience?

@Leucrotta ... honestly it might be.

Our parents definitely did that for life stuff in general. "You're 18, figure it out!"
