Demand avoidance is a very common symptom of ADHD. If someone tells me I need to do something it instantly becomes very difficult to accomplish, no matter how much I myself want it done as well.
It's such a pain in the ass. Back in the day, after years of not being able to get me to help with the cleaning, my mom finally gave up and said "if you would like to help me clean the apartment I'd really appreciate it...". Guess who started cleaning right away. Removing the demand made all the difference. Stupid brain.
