ADHD is more than just quirky memes about your goblin friends.
It's a disability, often a debilitating one, and it can be dangerous to live with a brain that doesn't necessarily hold onto relevant information like when that candle or stove was lit.

This flooded field was caused by March's heavy rains in Merced County, CA. Workers missed 4 straight days of work. The loss of wages affected their abilities to pay rent and cover their families expenses. #WeFeedYou
