However, if the individual appears to be having a hard time opening the door, offer to help. Remember, offer help because someone needs it, not because someone has a disability. Next year I will be going to college. I am worried about all this independence. I am very worried that I m going to let myself and my parents down.
Structure is very important.
Keeping a strict schedule is important, scheduling time to get work done. Lists, notes to yourself, and rituals are all great organizational tools. Also, color-coding can be very helpful, because people with ADD are usually visually oriented. Loud, bright colors will grab your attention. Break down large projects into manageable goals.
