Very common. Texting requires task switching, emotional energy, and sustained attention. For ADHD brains, managing multiple conversations can feel overwhelming quickly. The pressure to respond promptly can also trigger avoidance. This does not reflect lack of care. It reflects cognitive load. Setting boundaries around response times or batching messages can reduce the strain.
