Sorry, but I disagree. People who have to wait for late ADDers should know who they’re dealing with and work around it. So if you have an appointment with an ADDer at 10, assume that he or she will not be there until 10:15 and make your phone call to the pharmacy or to check on your loved one.
The people who sit around idly waiting for someone else are the ones who are wasting time. It’s disrespectful of ADDers when others expect us to behave according to their standards. Your attitude, while based on politeness (and I get that), is exactly why most of us spent our lives feeling as though we did something wrong.
It’s not always about appeasing other people; sometimes it’s about ourselves and our own self-respect and self-worth.
