It’s a task that most people learn early, but those of us with ADHD have enormous trouble learning, early, middle, or late, in life!
My crib was such a shambolic mess of stuffed toys, that my mom remembers coming into my room to check on me in the night, and having a hard time picking out which was the baby and which were stuffed toys and dolls.
My childhood room was always a mess, and, today, my old room is full of my treasures, and the many things my mom has put there for storage…not making much of a difference from when I lived there.
When I was in Brownies, you needed your Golden Bar in order to start working on your Golden Hand, which then allowed you to fly up to the Girl Guides.
I did everything necessary for my Golden Bar, except for “Keep your room tidy for 2 weeks”. The most I ever managed was 2 days. My Brown Owl let me start working on my Golden Hand anyway, and when I’d done everything necessary for that, she said, “I know that, cumulatively, you’ve kept your room clean for more than 2 weeks” (well, it *had* been 2 years!) and awarded me my Golden Bar and my Golden Hand.
