Jess speaking:
It's really easy to dismiss ADHD as "Not that big a deal", because the things that people with ADHD struggle with, are things that everyone struggles with sometimes.

"Everyone gets distracted", "Everyone loses things", "Everyone forgets things".

While yes, these are things that everyone struggles with, not everyone struggles with it to the degree and the frequency that those with ADHD struggle with it

For us, it is a big deal.

While it might not be a big deal to occasionally lose something, when you lose something everyday, several times a day, it does become a big deal.

It starts to really interfere with your life.
