What does ADHD have to do with avoidance?

But they’re doing the thing.

This isn’t an executive function issue

The "thing" is calling someone.

Blue Guy has a phone, and I assume he knows how to make a call, but cannot bring himself to do it, he instead does his preferred method of contact.

If not completely responsible, EF is at least a factor.

Yes, but that’s not ADHD nor is it executive function disorder.

Executive function disorder would be ignoring the task entirely.
