I'm sorry that ADHD has had a negative affect on your life. Is it harder to complete tasks that aren't self motivated? I think that's what I was getting at: ADHD symptoms sound like an authority figure complaining that their subjects wont obey commands. I personally find it hard to maintain focus on 'external objectives' that other people set for me, but if I want to create something I can usually muster up the focus to do it. Not always, but if it's something I really care about I will maintain attention long enough to see it through.

Here's the problem: it doesn't take an external authority figure. It is sometimes enough to try to get yourself to do something you absolutely should be doing anyway.
