MODERATORS
Unless you’re part of a large family group (or are rich.)
Having a tribe keep on top of on top of one another removes almost all the detriments of ADHD. Someone will remind you to drink and eat, someone will remind you to take medication, someone will pitch in with the kids.
But modern day living doesn’t have the tribe to fall back on.
Or, if you’re rich you can just have a personal assistant/maid/nanny to handle all the mundane shiz.
