[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People with significant ADHD cannot do all the things normal people do without reminders or forgetting things.

So no, my husband with untreated ADHD needs reminders and still forgets key items.

Like filing taxes or paying the water bill on time.[/quote]

I have ADHD (diagnosed as an adult), am unmedicated,  yet the responsibility falls to me to get things done because if I don't then no one will.  I'm tired tired tired of having ALL of the stuff on MY shoulders because there is no one else to pick up the slack. I have  no choice so I do it.

My husband is an excellent provider but I would love to be able to depend on him for ANYTHING other than earning a living.

I found the package of toilet paper I asked him pick up on the way home on the floor in the garage days later.   When I asked him about it, he said he was in a rush and just put it there "for now" and was going to get it "later".   He always gets annoyed if I mention anything, as if it's normal to drop a package of toilet paper on the garage floor and leave it there and I'm just being a nag.   And to be clear, this is everything.  He has never planned a vacation, initiated an outing, paid a bill, etc.

So someone with ADHD CAN do these things.  If they have to.

A paycheck is not a provider. Just call him a paycheck. And if he is a messy, snobby, rude paycheck, call him that. [/quote]
