Don't think about it like, oh, squirrel, or being hyperactive. It's an executive functioning disorder, so your ability to form a plan, follow it through, and then assess how well it went, is damaged, on a fundamental level. That makes things like working from home, or digital learning, really, really difficult. Give people some respect, and ask them if there are ways you can help structure their day a little bit. And accept help, if it's offered. You matter.
