Have people found Facebook notifications (like the ones on the top bar) or unread messages on Facebook particularly distracting when you go on Facebook to reply to messages or make a post? Newwfeed, etc.? Is this kind of distraction more common with people with ADHD?

Facebook optimizes for making you spend there as much time as possible. If you must use it, it helps to unfollow everyone. (And unlike all pages, I think, because liking them also pushes their news to you. Not sure.)
