Generalized question for ADHD folks, what's your feelings on someone Reminding You of Task?

In this specific situation, often when Masque and I do our weekly writing stints, they will post what they've written and I will read it and comment and/or cheer them on. I only tend to post when I've completed an entire chapter, and Masque has expressed a desire to also read and comment on those, but they have ADHD and when I post something do not usually remember to look at it unless I remind them a few days later. As someone who does not have ADHD, this makes me feel like I am pressuring someone into doing a thing they might not want to do, or have time to do, and also it doesn't feel great to remind someone to look at my creative work in particular -- despite my intellectual knowledge of brains being different, my emotional self feels kinda bad about it, like what I've made is uninteresting.

There's no actual issue here because Masque and I are friends and I'll simply ask them if they want to be reminded, or not, and/or express that having to remind them can make me feel bad, because people are individuals and have individual preferences and this type of brain vs brain can be compromised on and sorted out.

Mostly I'm just curious about brains that are different from mine and if anyone had any thoughts, because I have a lot of ADHD friends but am not that, myself.

This is extremely unhelpful but it depends entirely on whether it's a thing I've actually forgotten or not. I get really annoyed when someone reminds me of something I already know I need to be doing, especially if it's something I already have planned/scheduled to get done, but I know that I do actually forget things sometimes and need reminding and I also know that people can't read my mind as to whether I've actually forgotten something or not, so I do my best to just keep the annoyance to myself and tell myself they're just trying to be helpful

I love how Idira is, even in the early game, just inherently a bit of stinker and happy to commit to the bit

Today on scene I had an officer ask me if I could tell by the guy's pupils whether or not he overdosed

Sir this is a dead man

I don't think you understand how pupils work, they do not tell me secrets

My favorite type of scene is when police expect me to show up and do some kind of crazy unknowable science to make my conclusions and I show up and go "I think he overdosed on heroin" and they're like what WOWWWWW how do you KNOW THATTTTTTT holy shit!!!!! and I point at the baggie of heroin in the dead person's hand

[Fetian]

Ah but if he took the heroin then he wouldn't have it anymore

Must be a murder

I am extremely overwhelmed by the apartment and needing to pack and undo all of the damage Sophie did to the walls and baseboards (the baseboards aren't damaged but are covered in cat hair) so what if...........chore wheel

I looked briefly into maybe hiring someone to help me clean, just because I am so overwhelmed and bad mental health that I keep freezing and not doing anything because it's all too many much, but I think having a stranger in my environment would just make me embarrassed and feel terrible

I'll try a chore wheel and maybe spin once a day? I don't know, I'm struggling
