> Like to the point I would rather walk a mile somewhere than figure out how to buy a bus ticket in an unfamiliar city.

Sounds like textbook ADHD. Walking a mile is a straightforward task with a known outcome and predictable risk/reward scheme. Figuring out bus ticketing is a novel challenge requiring a certain amount of executive thinking, planning ahead, holding multiple things in working memory, all things which can feel aversive to the ADHD brain.
