    Can we stop making every little thing about ADHD? This is just a common way to do arithmetic

      Adding up to 10, like the other comment explains, is the common way. Using 14 as intermediate step suggests a different way of thinking. OP could be on to something if that’s normal to you.

      7 + 6 = 10 + 3 = 13

        Some people have 7+6 = 13 memorized.

        Some do 1+6+6 = 1+12 = 13.

        Some use offsets from 5, like 5+1+5+2 = 2*5 + 3 = 13

        Hell I’m sure somebody did it like 10 - 4 + 10 - 3 = 20 - 7 = 10 + 10 - 7 = 10 + 3 = 13

          Now determine the correlation between the various methods and adhd. My guess is that people with adhd are more likely to use the more exotic methods.

              Indeed. The important part are the experiments to determine the correlations. Without those every opinion about OP’s hypothesis in this post is as useless as my guess.

              I am wondering about the downvotes. You mean it is offensive to assume that something is different? Thank you for that feedback. I would have never guessed.

                I think people just aren’t on board with your guess, and don’t want to assign every behavior’s root cause to having ADHD
