[quote=Anonymous]Based on my own personal experience, I think it's highly unlikely that your lack of organization has created this issue for your child, but depending on the underlying reason, it may present a stumbling block to helping her. I have ADHD, and for other medical reasons I don't take medication for it. I manage it through lifestyle, which means lots of fixed routines, checklists, etc. My husband tends toward the (very) disorganized, though, and I often found that my routines/checklists would be interrupted because I couldn't find what I needed -- the papers I needed were buried under a bunch of junk mail he threw on the counter, my keys weren't in the holder where I keep them because he borrowed them and left them on the entryway table rather than in the basket in the kitchen, etc. Once I was able to get him to understand how much his disorganization was hindering me from managing my ADHD (the symptoms of which were driving him up the wall at times), he got much better about it and everything in our household became more harmonious.

That's not to say that you have to be 100% organized to help her, but as you put systems into place to help her at home, it's important to make sure that none of your own habits are going to interfere with those systems or you're setting her up for failure.[/quote]
