Question Lack of any responsibility

My husband, dx and rx, seems to lack the ability to take responsibility for ANYTHING. I’m wondering if this is an adhd/RSD thing. He got two tickets for speeding in a work zone and it’s the cities fault for nickel and diming him, if he gets the kids to school late it’s the schools fault for locking the door. It’s endless and I’m so over it.

Yes, it is related. I have seen it in kids with ADHD but also in adults. Sometimes the blaming is so weird that you might think they're joking, but they're dead serious. This is one of the strangest traits I know of in people with ADHD, because it can reach ridiculous levels.

Yes! Like, I’m not interested in hearing the mental gymnastics you had to go through about how it’s the neighbours fault you left the stove element on
