The gifts of ADHD
Sari Solden, in her book WOMEN WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER says “...It can be wonderful to find a "Coach." This can be someone trained and paid or someone that you helped to develop, a non-judgmental friend who's organized but flexible. ... There are three main areas in which a coach can help in your personal life. First, she/he can help you stay on track and help you prioritize to meet your goals. ... Next, your coach can help you see your successes by being supportive, almost a cheerleader ... Thirdly, a coach can be right in your house to help you maintain systems, put papers away, getting to all the stuff that you hate: that boring, repetitive filing, paying bills, balancing the check-book or going through papers."
