As someone with ADHD, it's actually excellent advice for you, so you might want to own that, friend.

There are millions of others for whom this is infuriatingly flippant, dismissive, and altogether demeaning. Lucky you, but your personal experience is irrelevant to the general consensus in this regard. ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿผ

It's exactly as relevant as anyone else's, and if you can't infer that I was offering a personal anecdote you shouldn't be participating in a public forum.

Also, if you take legitimate advice offered in good faith as flippant and dismissive that's a you problem. Try phrasing your problems more clearly, if you just say "I have a lot of trouble staying organized and keeping track of time" and get mad when people suggest a planner, your problem isn't ADHD.

How very ironic of you.
