Why does this comment hurt in my soul?

If you have enough money to afford a personal assistant, you probably don’t have these problems because you have a personal assistant.

I mean it's both. Not being able to do your chores is bad no matter the society.

No. You don't get to deny the very real PERSONAL harm done by this condition. No amount of socioeconomic changes could ever stop the personal problems.

I think it's a personal problem too, because the human condition itself demands certain tasks that we might struggle with, but I absolutely understand what you're saying.

Despite my positives with ADHD, like being able to flip between constant emergencies all day, and getting constant praise for my work, my last job was threatening to fire me because they noticed I was 1 minute (literally 60 seconds) late a few times.

Good riddance to 'em, they had no idea how much effort it took to get within that margin with traffic patterns that change literally every day. They were also okay with getting there ridiculously early and jusy idling their SUVs in the heat until they could go in. Clown world.

I find that's somewhat of a norm systematically. Society will think it's "fair" to hold everyone to a standard of constant ridiculous feats of executive function that have no tangible effect on outcomes, measured by raw numbers at face value, and use this "data" to determine your worth as a person.

Some people like doing work like that, the thing is just that these jobs are treated like trash and underpaid

We need to compensate people well for this sort of work. There are a lot of people doing this work right now who are not compensated fairly for this work.
