Explain Your Brain
Say it once, plainly, so they stop guessing.
What this is for
People fill in the wrong reason for ADHD behaviour — rude, careless, lazy — because you never told them the real one.
When to use it
Right after someone misreads something you did, or before a situation where you know it'll happen again.
What you leave with
A short, borrowable line that replaces their guess with the truth, sized for who you're talking to.

Who are you explaining this to?
Pick one to keep going.
Why this can help
A brief, factual explanation changes how someone interprets a behaviour, which changes how they respond to it next time — far more reliably than hoping they figure it out.
