    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

      Six is two threes and seven plus three is ten so then we have the leftover three and add that to get thirteen.

      Also, not everything is ADHD.

          The way i calculate this, is knowing that 7 is 10-3, and 6 is 3+3.

          So, 7 + 6 = 10 + 3 = 13

          Kinda the same.

          I need 3 to get to 10 from 7. After that just ad the rest (6-3). Resulting in 13.

            everything calculated in my head is just various examples of this daisy chained together

              I'm pretty sure they just had us brute-force memorize all of the single digit additions and multiplications in grade school. Seemed to work out okay for me.

                  generation gap happening here. common core wasn't a thing for a lot of us, it's brand new.

                  i do math the "common core" way not because it was taught to me but because the old methods didn't work and i had to figure it out on my own.

                  it may not be strictly "an adhd thing" but society made it so for a time.

                      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.

                          It's just a thing people do, has nothing to do with adhd

                            Is this not just how people do simple math? Why the hell else did they make us just memorize multiplication tables?

                              I would actually step to 10 first by going (7+3)+(6-3)

                              Steal some from the 6 to make the 7 round up to 10, then ad the remainder to 10.

                                Your guess is scientifically worthless. As any other guess, for that matter.

                                  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 don't think OP has a relevant experience, and it shows with these dumb memes.

                                      This is the exact opposite experience I've heard from 90% of my adhd peeps. Cosplay shit.

                                        three of the six falls into the gap between the 7 and 10, leaving 3 sticking out the top = 13.

                                        I have no idea if this is normal or not
