Adult with ADHD here. I did well in school and wasn’t diagnosed and found that short bursts worked best for me. eg 10 mins reading my book, play a song on the piano, 10 mins doing math problems, walk around the block, etc. it drove my parents nuts but I got the work done. I went to a top-ranked college (still undiagnosed) and my dorm room looked like the Fire Marshall should he called, but I managed homework in much the same way there. I took All my subjects to the library. 15 mibs art history, -15 nins chemistry etc.If I was there more than an hour I used the bathroom, got water, said hi to people. At the two hour mark I treated myself to the vending machine.

Showers even with a ton of prompting take at least 30 minutes ( long hair and other grooming is very important to them and also they get distracted). They have worked so hard to develop a social life I hate to turn away friends arriving at “home work time”. I think mornings might work but my husband is against it and I kind of understand. It would probably work out like 9 times out of ten but the other day would be a super unpleasant day. Also he handled/is around for mornings and doesn’t enjoy being responsible for enforcing it.

Which of us do enjoy being responsible for enforcing it?! He can man up.
