Several ADHD traits can make it challenging to maintain personal hygiene. ADHD individuals may struggle with time blindness, losing track of time, and difficulty prioritizing tasks, which can result in neglecting personal hygiene routines. Struggling with tasks that rely on executive functioning such as planning, organizing, and initiating tasks can be challenging for individuals with ADHD. They may have difficulty paying attention to details, which can result in forgetting to use certain products, putting on clean clothes, or noticing stains or odors. Sensory sensitivity is also common among people with ADHD, and certain textures, smells, or sensations may be overwhelming, leading to avoidance of certain hygiene products or routines. Finally, forgetfulness is a common ADHD symptom, and people may forget whether they have already completed a task like showering or tooth brushing.
