   I think over time, #ADHD coping skills can lead to being *more* responsible than other people.

   For instance, I'm generally kind of surprised when I hear someone say they spilled something on one of their electronics. I'm like "You're 40 years old: why was something that could be spilled anywhere near your laptop? Rookie mistake."

     Not paying attention to what I'm doing or my surroundings can lead to a lot of accidents, like knocking over a glass of water I forgot was there. So I have a lot of little personal "rules" to prevent mishaps that have served me well, but don't seem to be the kind of thing that neurotypicals rely on.

     I forget all kinds of things but I *never* forget to lock my car. Why? Because before I walk away from my car, I try the handle to make sure it's actually locked—it's instinctual. I forgot to lock my car one too many times, so now I have an ingrained habit to prevent that from happening.
