about (a housekeeping tip from mom)
My mom taught me a lot about how to survive and thrive with ADHD.
I got diagnosed with ADHD when I was 34 ½ and asked a psychiatrist for an evaluation. She took two hours and made the call that reframed my whole life.
I was annoyed it took so long to find out, but amazed I had made a successful career so far without it. Now that I know, I've been accumulating tips and tricks and hacks and books and coping tactics.
The more tactics I found, the more I realized my mom had already taught me.
