Have you read this? It made me wonder how I managed to adult in the minimal capacity I could in my 20s & on – which consisted, tbh, in drinking too much #alcohol (a source of #dopamine & lowered #anxiety).
But I’m thinking more on how to best guide & support my kids (though without some of the punitive ideas like charging rent, the author is a dinosaur from the 60s).

@arpcomics “I’d go out and buy an expensive car and make the first payment, but that was it. My Dad would always have to pay the rest.” That tells me all I need to know about Betsy (and it has nothing to do with her having ADHD).
@NorthByNorthWeston Good point. That was a bit much and I agree it’s not adhd. ADHD would be paying the bills late and ending up with fees & fines.I’ve also never bought an expensive car because my adhd means I can’t just work at a job, play the social game, get promoted/find a better job, et al.
@arpcomics incidentally 35 is exactly the age when i got diagnosed with ADHD
