forestineliving in an all adhd household is like
you're sitting there getting ready for your day and suddenly everybody is trying to clean up coffee that spilled all over everything
i actually wrecked my laptop about 10 years ago when i was getting ready to move for grad school and totally killed it. and everybody was like
well you shouldn't have done that
oh well you picked up your computer wrong afterwards
etc etc i am the fool
of course i didn't INTEND to sit down and spill an entire cup of coffee on my computer until it was spilling out the ports, but people like to feel like they would never
Michael Newton@[email protected] I still get the warm fuzzies each time I remember the day that my wife asked me "why did you forget ?" and my teenage son answered for me "Isn't the real question why would the family member with ADHD remember it?"
(Side note: my wife is actually pretty good at understanding the executive function side of my ADHD in general, but having an insanely good memory herself she (ironically) constantly forgets that I forget things)
