The ADHD urge to lie about why you didn't do something because "my brain refused to start on it" doesn't make sense to a lot of neurotypicals.

This behavior has gotten me into a lot of shit over the years😬🤦‍♂️

NGL, I've just accepted that it won't make sense to the neurotypicals.

I'll straight up say "sorry, my brain wouldn't let me do it" or "the guy upstairs is really fighting me right now" while pointing at my head.

Best case, they understand what I mean. Worst case, they think I'm crazy, which is a best case in and of itself.

Yeah the co-workers that think I'm "crazy" leave me alone and don't ask me to complete stuff so its a huge win.
