    You should pay more attention.

    To a kid with textbook ADHD.
    And that thing hasn’t changed at all in 25+ years, i still get it and my daughter gets it as well in school.

      Every time I explain how I have difficulties, I get asked:

      • Have you tried setting an alarm?
      • Have you tried making a to do list?
      • Have you tried getting someone else to remind you?

      I can’t think of the others, but I’ve heard them all (as I’m sure you have).

      And I have to say: YES. I HAVE TRIED ALL THE THINGS.

      (And I have found some things that work for some of the things, at least some of the time)

      My significant other and I like to routinely say that to each other in fake, over the top, condescending tones at each other when one of us is struggling a little extra with ADHD. Makes us both laugh.
