Yes, an ‘ADHD tax’ is a real thing. I know because I pay it every day

Every day begins the same way: I forget something. My glasses, keys, phone, earbuds, lip balm, wallet, hairbrush, myki, hair tie, my toddler’s shoes, hat, mittens, jumper, socks, bottle, or breakfast. It could be any of them.

I spend at least 10 minutes each morning searching for one or more of the above. It drives me, and my partner, completely mad.
