For some people with ADHD, responding with a quick-and-easy untruth requires less energy than processing thoughts & organizing a response. For others, lying is far more complicated & involves decades of undiagnosed symptoms, shame, & coping mechanisms.
“I couldn’t find it.”. I no longer lie, and I no longer feel stupid. I’m now proud to be ADHD!” –“I lied all the time as a youth to get away with things, receive attention, or seem more interesting.

I am sometimesbecause it makes the story more interesting. I lie when I feel trapped or bored.
Because my ADHD causes me to look at every angle, it seems normal to move in and out of ‘truths’ just to keep things interesting.” –“More often than not, it’s an impulsive blurt based on doing or saying something wrong or imperfectly. To maintain the lie that I was right all along, I stick with it and say nothing. On some occasions, the impulsive lie slips out for no apparent reason, and I clarify, ‘Wait. I lied. It’s actually X.’ Then I follow with, ‘I don’t know why I said that.
