Smarter: lmao, thats the autism, the adhd hyperfocus gives me super task-avoidance

Faster: LMFAO. My reaction time is noticeably slow. I was a lifeguard for a while, which is why I am very aware of this

The only upsides are the coping mechanisms I have been forced to develop for it have been super helpful in my adult life

Yes!!!! Task avoidance is the absolute worst.

Coping mechanisms? Apparently I didn’t get those. I’m currently sitting on the couch avoiding a multitude of things I need to do reading ADHD memes.

Hey, I'm not saying i don't do that, but I'm really good at forgiving myself for getting stuck in an avoidance spiral (since if you start beating yourself up you now have one more thing to avoid) and that means I'm really fucking good at forgiving other people, which means I'm also really fucking good at conflict resolution.
