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.
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.
Can we stop making every little thing about ADHD? This is just a common way to do arithmetic
Normal people: breathing

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.
ADHD is when different

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
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.
