[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ADHD is literally poor executive functioning. This task would have taken multiple executive functions: planning, organization, making goals, task initiation, time management, flexibility to deal with you being gone, problem solving (actually he did that, just not how you would have), maybe self-restraint. It's everything he struggles with.[/quote]

Medicine might not solve all the issues. I have ADHD yet had to figure out how to stay organized.

I use task lists, time blocking, Trello (using a kan ban system to see upcoming needs, current projects, and things accomplished, etc.

I've also learned to get more dopamine from checking things off a list, spending time in cold pools, and exercising. My take is that I will do what's needed to increase dopamine on my own.

Diet can help the body create more of the right neurotransmitters. Several nutrients are precursors to neurotransmitter creation in the human body. So, it's important to eat healthy and get enough protein.

Medicine is good for some stuff, but it doesn't teach you how to be organized.
