Oh Boy! How I can relate to this post!!! I have both ADHD and PDD-NOS, and some of my biggest struggles are time management and organiton. I get distracted easily and forget to do things.. hence the reason why biofeedback ultimately fell on its face when it came to being a long lasting treatmetn option; it's not that I didn't want to do the excercises and stay dry, its i just get so distracted with different aspects of life , i forget to do it. Yes, I'm sure someone will say to me, do it at a certian time and you wont forget. That's not exactly the case; I have a routine for putting my keys by the door and my wallet, so I know where they are when i go to a sub job in the morning. Yesterday, both my keys and my wallet were by the door, and somehow i remembered my keys, but not my wallet!! My, was that ever embarrassing!! I hate being easily distractable, and disorganized just like i hate being incontinent, but hatred wont make my disabilites go away.. I just have to learn to deal with it, and adapt as best I can. Hang in there Mike, you'll be fine.
Peace out!

Yes, but to make it worse I can remember life before the head injury where this wasn't an issue!! It was like waking up one day with ADD and not knowing what to do. It might have been kinder for the injury to have hurt me worse so I couldn't remember life before it.... Because knowing it didn't use to be this way makes it worse.
