Questions & Topics in this Episode:
(The following questions have been paraphrased.) 

• What are some ADHD-friendly organizing resources when preparing to relocate? 
• Emotions can be really big and dysregulated with ADHD. Do you have advice on dealing with surprise disappointments that come up? 
• My dad loses his temper a lot and it’s very difficult to talk to him. If I didn’t know better, I would have felt that some of the things he does could be borderline abusive. I don’t blame him because a lot of this is involuntary because of the ADHD, but if this continues, it’s not good for the family as a whole. I’m not sure how to deal with this. 
• How can I improve my sleep hygiene with shift-work?
• I am currently caring for my mom who has early dementia. I’ll be trying to work on my tasks, but I keep getting off track. How do I manage interruptions? 
• How do you decide if “This is an ADHD thing” and “it should not be this much of a struggle so I should find a work-around” versus, “This is hard, but everybody struggles to do it, so I will struggle to do it!”? 
• What suggestions do you have for finding an ADHD-friendly workplace?
