It doesn't matter if it's my plan or someone else's plan. I just misinterpret directions or do something that overcomplicates things for everyone or don't fully remember instructions or just feel too lazy or timid to finish what I started. I'm not even good with constructing a detailed and scheduled "plan of action" on how to accomplish anything. I could really use some help.

Out of curiosity, how are your executive functions? Have you gotten that checked out? Working memory, etc.

I've only been checked for AS. I think I tried Strattera before, but it didn't work for me.

I don't even know how to evaluate my executive functions. My folks say that they'll let me get a new therapist only after I start working.
