A place primarily for people with ADHD to discuss how to live with its symptoms and support each other.

I'm a teenager; but I'm worried about my adulthood future because I don't know (reliably) good methods to adapt to my ADHD (and Autism).

I struggle with working on my projects; even when I take ADHD meds (irregularly now), I still struggle with focus. (The result is unsurprising; ADHD meds are usually assistant tools, not a cure.)

I am more worried about how my family is going to react to me failing out of senior year; I am uncertain if I would be able to interdependently live from them. (Independent living is impossible.)

(I (,only now unfortunately,) recognize that the GED exists, but I think it is far too late to take advantage of it now.)

All of those survival styles seem like a pain though. (I haven't tried actually them.)

NOTE: I am trying to avoid toxic positivity.

EDIT: My solutional management ideasI think futuristically adopting stoic beliefs are not a bad idea; it could help dealing with (future) insecurities that come from ADHD.
