8. Low frustration tolerance
The majority of people with ADHD have a low tolerance for frustration. They can get overly emotional in response to stimuli. They lack a barrier that permits them to push aside unpleasant emotions, and they are frequently overwhelmed by them, making them unbearable. People with ADHD have problems pushing themselves to accomplish tasks that aren’t intrinsically rewarding without some sort of strong positive or negative external reward. Because completing your taxes doesn’t have a lot of positive external reward, persons with ADHD often put it off until the negative incentive for not doing them becomes so great that adrenaline and stress drive the ADHD brain into action. This leads to a desperado approach to time management, in which activities are always put off until the last possible second, and then everything is done at once.
