focus transitioning time is especially real when you’ve adhd. not just for kids but also adults. we need to know beforehand when we have to abandon what we’re doing in the moment to do something else. if you don’t give us enough notice, our brains oftentimes won’t be able to adjust to the sudden change of focus which usually causes us to get unnecessarily frustrated and unable to function as well as we otherwise could

Also, saying things like ‘later’ or ‘soon’. My brother has ADHD doesn’t understand when you say ‘later’ or ‘soon’. My parents will tell him something like ‘get off the PlayStation soon.’ and when they tell him to get off randomly later, he’ll be frustrated and angry. But if you tell him ‘get off in ten minutes’ or ‘you’re off at 5’, he will happily get off and do something else.

So it’s not just giving notice, it’s also giving a set time in which they have to do something

yes, this! important!

I learn so much about people on this damn website!

oh my god i feel this badly. my sister always tells me to do things soon and then get mad that htey werent done in the timeframe she wanted and its like. Ive told her several times that if she wants something done at a specific timeframe she needs to tell me the specific timeframe
