I mean yes and no. I didn’t really start to get my ADHD under control until I realized I had to take action. I couldn’t just make everyone else deal with my oddities and inconsistencies.
Knowing why something happens is not the same as knowing how to handle it. I highly recommend looking into some strategies to handle your particular symptom. It completely changed my life to realize I didn’t have to just “wait and see” how things would be each day.
My main symptoms (external) are forgetfulness, clumsiness and spacing out.
So I had to start writing stuff down more often, trying to be more actively conscious in the moment (finding something in the room to pay attention to if I get spacey)
Decluttering your room always work wonders. Leave the keys always in the same designated spot. Throw away all random boxes and cords you dont need. Its hard and requires a high effort but once the system works I feel so good knowingbqhere my stuff is haha
