> assistance with breaking down tasks and setting priorities paired with frequent deadlines

Pretty much what I am arguing for.

Deadlines have to matter.

> someone with ADHD might spend a week working on some random detail that doesn't matter, because they think it's important.

No one is like "oh, thanks, it was just a matter of working on this thing, my bad, I lost track of time". It's a totally arduous process to abandon this task you are enjoying and drag yourself kicking and screaming to work on what you should be working on...which will be pain inducing. You need a way to get through this pain.

Your response demonstrates you didn't engage with my response. ADHD is not a character flaw, it is a disability.

1. More deadlines for smaller chunks does not imply that the deadlines are stricter; it's about preventing overwhelm and helping with time-blindness.

2. Focusing on the wrong thing is not (always) about "enjoyment", so much as it's about being overwhelmed, bored, under/overstimulated, or being unsure of what one "should" be working on.

3. Your wording, particularly "kicking and screaming" reveals your disdain for people with ADHD. You are not "very open suggestions" on accommodations as you claim to be.
