But for kids without ADHD it doesn't generally present the massive obstacle in their social life that it frequently presents for kids with ADHD. It can be an even daily issue with stronger emotions with ADHD and can really make socializing really hard for younglings.

Kids who have ADHD may take things like that significantly more seriously or be far more impacted by that sort of stuff.

It's like with some of the other symptoms of ADHD that most people think "everyone deals with". Everyone forgets stuff and has trouble staying on track occasionally, but it's not typical for it to be so frequent and bad that it constantly interferes multiple times an hour with daily life and royally screws up important moments in your life.
