Top 8 ADHD Challenges: Do You Face These Too?

by Cynthia Hammer, MSW, Author of the book, Living with Inattentive ADHD

The 8 greatest challenges for people with ADHD according to a survey at r/adhd.

1. Getting started.  The need to clear my brain of many issues before I am ready to take on mundane tasks.

2. Keeping my home clear of clutter.

3. Finishing essential tasks that are actually easy

4. Waiting until the last day to complete an important assignment and then staying up all night to finish—panic-stricken.

5.  Time blindness—and always being late.

6.  Losing important items: keys, credit cards, license, wallet, glasses, phone, etc.

7. Finishing a task.  I get 15 things started but not one of them is finished.  Or be gung ho for something only to fizzle out before completing.

8. Emotional dysregulation—the negative aspects of being highly sensitive.
