[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what you want to know. 
We did fairly well in school and have high paying jobs.  Me because my parents really supported me, and DH because he is brilliant.

You can think of ADHD as the ability to completely shift your focus quickly, which means that it’s easy to lose your keys or burn dinner, but, because of our professions, it’s actually kind of an asset for both of us at work.

Our home is not well organized or well decorated.  We have four kids and often have many other kids over at the house.  The chaos of kids doesn’t get to me.  We don’t have a television because the background noise of television does get to me.

We have a lot of amazing people in our lives that help with stuff.  We have a housekeeper 3-4 days a week who helps keep things organized.  The kids have had some teachers over the years that worked with them on keeping things organized at school.  We have a travel agent that plans vacations and things for us.  We put a lot of things on autopilot as much as possible (bills of course, but also lawn care, window washing, flowers for extended family birthdays, car maintenance, household deep cleaning, etc).

I don’t know.  It’s not perfect, but we are a fun and happy family.  Also, I know that you said “untreated,” but I do take Vyvanse on my days off, and it helps.

Np. I need a housekeeper to help organize the house but can't find one. I tend to hire people who are great but also struggle with EF skills. I wished I could keep our former nanny full-time as a housekeeper, but she's even messier than us.  Our cleaning lady can clean, but cannot tidy up to save her life. [/quote]
