With ADHD it’s an obstacle course to get out of the house

• Time blindness

• Memory to pack what’s needed for outing, daycare or school

• Remembering and preparing snacks

• Feeding and walking pets, prepare grumpy children

• Remembering your own breakfast and medicines

• Returning for the items you forget

• Charging your flat phone on the way

• Filling your empty car tank on the way

• Caffeinating on the way

• Fighting morning fatigue to do the above

• Guilt for running late

• Child falls asleep on the way - repivot the day

It’s complete cognitive and emotional overload.

Not to mention to post outing social battery recharge.
