Out of Order

by Brenda on February 25, 2010

Out of order can mean a couple of different things. On the one hand, out of order can mean that something isn’t working. When the Diet Coke machine is out of order, we can get really frustrated because we can’t get our fix. :)

Out of order can also mean that things have been taken out of their normal order. My daughter Sarah always nukes her tea then adds sweetener. If you sweeten her tea before you put it in the microwave, to her, you’ve done things out of order.

Transitions, Structure, and ADHD

by Brenda on February 9, 2009

I’ve often written about how children with ADHD have a difficult time with transitions, and how they benefit from having some structure in their lives. The same is true when you are an adult with ADHD. We need structure in our lives, too, and we have a hard time making transitions. (Don’t think so? How easy is it for you to turn your brain off at night and go to sleep?)
