    It is possible you have ADD or ADHD. Just saying, because this is kind of a hallmark of those illnesses. Whether it’s defiance or lack of interest.

      Being curious about science podcasts is not a hallmark of ADHD. It’s just a hallmark of people who like learning about science.

        But being unable or disinterested in mandatory work versus being ultra interested in voluntary work; that is a hallmark symptom of both illnesses.

          that’s just saying it’s a hallmark symptom to like things you want to do and not like things you don’t want to do. congratulations, now everyone has ADHD.

          But at the same it’s totally normal for kids to complain about school so the jump to the ADHD point is quite big.

          I feel this deeply. I’ve not been diagnosed, but it’s a problem.

          Yeah. Not liking being commanded what to do with no explanation why you do that is totally an ADHD thing.

          Pretty sure no one likes that.
