Look for the bottleneck
If someone repeatedly fails at the same apparently simple task, more reminders to “try harder” may not change much. Is the problem remembering, starting, sequencing, estimating time, tolerating boredom or understanding the expectation?
Support independence
Helpful support makes systems easier to use without taking over every responsibility. Visual routines, predictable places for important items and clear instructions can support independence better than repeated verbal prompting.
Notice what works too
ADHD discussions can become a catalogue of failures. Curiosity, humour, creativity, energy, persistence on interesting problems and unusual connections may also be part of someone's experience. People are bigger than a diagnostic checklist.
