> Which I increasingly feel confident in the idea that there’s no meaningful distinction and ADHD should/likely eventually will be considered part of the spectrum
I’ve recently been pondering this point myself as I come across more acquaintances, friends, or colleagues who have been clinically diagnosed with ADHD after my own diagnosis. It’s certainly nice to be able to commiserate on some of the more common symptoms, but each of us has had to compensate (or not compensate) in a unique way throughout our lives. I’m always interested in how this manifests differently and affects one’s career or other major components of modern life.
I agree that a lot of what’s suggested by this article are very ubiquitous, (sometimes) easier-said-than-done tools and strategies for those that struggle with ADHD. I wasn’t personally surprised by anything here. I am equally frustrated by the lack of availability of an app or planner that lets me “manage my meetings and tasks” that truly meets my needs as someone struggling with executive function disorder and depression caused by the lack of this executive function. I’d love to hear any examples. I have been playing around with pomodoro/task apps (Focus and Focus Keeper) but they have some very odd shortcomings, and Focus wants $40 USD/year to continue use past the free trial.
