A while ago I posted about how it is the ones without ADHD that are the real loonies and the rubbish advice they give you. I think I mentioned the (un)helpful advice of using a diary when we all already have many diaries. The same applies to lists. You have so many lists that you actually have started to make a list of lists, at least once, right?
Anyway, great minds think alike, or at least the ADHD ones do, since we all encounter similar problems including getting advice to make lists. Here’s what Kim Kensington has to say:

I actually have lists that have notes on the bottom that say things like “See other List!!” Oh Dear!!!

A newcomer speaks: some of us may well just get a bit of a buzz about getting SOME help or just even a conversation about the thing that has been driving us mad for the last 50 odd years. Just because you are an ‘expert’ (well I assume you are, you write on a website and have heard about mainframes) it would be really useful if you didn’t spend quite so much time pointing the finger at the dumb outside world.
Perhaps you could recognise that those of us that had to invent lists all on our own (because we were drowning, there was no support and the paint on the internet was still rather wet), may well say “well it’s a start” or “jesus h christ, do you not have the imagination to conceive that maybe just maybe a sufferer hadn’t thought of lists yet – and who knows it may help.”
You are angry, I get that – a lot of us are, but why not have a goal of making your posts useful? Perhaps keep it in mind and track it through the week – have you got a diary? Maybe write the point of your post on a piece of paper and put it on the fridge or by the return button on your teletype keyboard.
Just a thought.
