Re: Doctor Reluctant to Treat the Comorbidities

It has been a constant struggle with memory for me and my ADHD coach has been teaching many things and techniques in order to find one that works for me.

For me, verbal directions or anything that involves verbal whatever, is a struggle for me. I typically take notes of any sort.

One technique that I have learned is something that is related to visual clues. For example, when I was being introduced to at least eight people, I used various bodily aspects with a rhyme to connect the body part with their first name – Bubble-Butt Betty; Luscious-Lips LInda, etc (it was something that went on inside my head and no one – except for everyone reading this post – knew about).

I now do similar things when seeking to remember lists of things but that is more difficult a chore so I use my iPhone and the note pad or other such application to keep things straight.

My psychiatrist has told me me to use my ‘smart phone’ regardless what any of my supervisors say, think or do – this will aid you in meeting deadlines, attending appointments and so for – is what she extolled to me. So far, she has been dead on the money.

Somethings work expertly for us as ADHDer’s and others not so much.

It is our life long challenge to learn what things work for us t make us productive and effective. The employers we have must decide if it is the quality of our output that matters or the process in which we get there. Nine times out of ten, they will say its the output that matters or the it is the product that you produce – the process may not be the same as those without the gift of ADHD but we will find the way to have the same product if not something better at the end of it process.
