Things more likely to be forgotten, misplaced, mislaid, go off track with an ADHD family, absolutely. And one of the more powerful sets of interventions for kids with ADHD separate from medications is family-based training that helps get the whole family, one, to understand how the kid's brain is working differently, but actually it might not be that differently.

It might be exactly how dad or mom's brain is working. but to help them function as more consistent parents.

But if you're interest-driven and your interests change, so for many people with ADHD, the best career is actually not one 50-year career, it's 10 five-year careers or five 10-year careers. And part of it is the whole work world has become more fragmented and you know, upheaval is the name of the game and break things quickly is the motto of Silicon Valley.

I didn't phrase that quite right, but the message I think is still there. We're accepting more that many career trajectories are going to look not like just one beautiful arc, but I think there's a sort of a normocentric bias to that is what you should strive for.
