[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You two sit together and make a pact to be intentionally kind, fair and helpful. No keeping scores, just try to be a good team.[/quote]

DP. Yeah, tried that. Just does not work with someone with weak executive function. Structure works. Good intentions do not. [/quote]

Good intentions make all the difference, structure only helps execute them. Unless one understands and feels genuinely concerned about unfairly overburdening their partner, nothing would change.[/quote]

They all INTEND to put their garbage in the van, lock the front door, turn off the lights, take the trash out, make sure the kids complete their homework….

But they don’t DO it.

So no intentions do NOT make the difference. The gap and disconnect between what an untreated ADHD persons wants to do and actually does is horrifically huge.  They just can plan a way, they can’t remember, they can think of more than one thing at a time, they start shutting down and blocking out things in sight, words being said, lists on the door.

Talk is cheap, action is not. [/quote]
