Living with ADHD often means leaving evidence behind. Maybe those cabinet doors and those socks in random places aren’t signs of failure, but signs of life.
I relate to all of this. The other day I went to warm a cup of coffee and when I opened the microwave door inside was a salt shaker. And I drove 45 minutes to a doctor’s appointment and on the way home, nearly there, a call came from the doc’s office to let me know I left my purse in the exam room. And my husband and I (him on my behalf) never go to bed or leave the house without checking to be sure the stove and oven are off. Luckily my husband has a good sense of humor.
Love this! We all have our traits that aren’t our favorites if they existed in a vacuum. But they’re part of who we are. We accept these traits and adapt, no matter what others say. Great post!

Spouses with a good sense of humor are key! Mine texted me a picture of the salt container I put in the fridge last week!
Thanks for sharing your experience.
What's with us and the salt? 😁
