Many know that ADHD is inheritable. But do you know how fucking frustrating it is to see someone else with exactly your ADHD who has not developed your copings yet? Last night I told my son to brush his teeth and to switch off the bathroom light when he's done.

I just woke up at 5am and like the old fart that I am I needed to pee. I got up and saw light fro. Upstairs. "Arrggh, that kid! I told him to switch off thr light! And all he has to say later is Meh, I forgot!"

I went to the bathroom upstairs, made my thing and switched off the lights. And now I remember that he doesn't have my "I'm about to leave this room and I'm the last one. Light check!"-coping developed yet. And without that I'd leave the lights on, too...

Well, at least he brushed his teeth. And honestly? At that time he was without meds anymore, so yeah, of course he forgot.
