[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following this post. My ADD daughter just quit college after freshman year. She is so disappointed in herself, and we don't quite know what to do with her. She can be incredibly sweet and friendly, but is just addicted to her phone and cannot seem to do the basics like check email, ya know, to see if one of the jobs she applied for reached out. So frustrating. It's honestly 100% executive functioning. [/quote]

This also sounds anxiety. I graduated from an Ivy and I have ADHD (I currently take medication and was medicated in college). My senior year I asked professors to write me recommendations for grad programs (all said yes) but I was so afraid they would say no that I missed all of their responses...I've never been medicated for anxiety and after 10+ years in the workforce to have executive level job at a FAANG but for years my husband wrote thank you notes to companies when I was interviewing because I had so much anxiety around that particular process (maybe this is the case with your daughter).[/quote]
