I think praising pathological workarounds could be harmful. People with ADHD should look for scalable, long term solutions, not shitty lifehacks like this one. Would you seriously recommend someone who struggles with life organization to try this?
I know one person with severe ADHD who managed to find ways of coping with it through healthy habits such as extensive use of notes and calendar. They're effectively better at managing their life than many neurotypicals. Sure, it's probably much harder to make those "stick" if you have ADHD, but it's even more important that you try, instead of falling back on laughable anti-patterns like ad watching.
- user_7832 4y agoI think there's a communication gap. I absolutely don't want to praise what the author is doing. I'm saying that the choices of ADHD folks is different from non-adhd people, and from the outside some choices may not make sense. I don't think using ads like the author does is a good idea, but I understand (and can sympathize) with them.
