Do you feel like managing a household with ADHD means being the one who remembers everything?
Callie is back for House Hacks Part 2, with practical home organisation ideas for a neurodivergent house, from visible chore charts to a last-minute gift box. There’s also an honest look at the mental load when you’re the person keeping the systems running.
It’s ADHD Awareness Month, the ADHD is ADHDing, and we might get better.
Welcome to AuDHD for Grownups: F Them Fish, with your neurodivergent besties, Callie Elward-Barrett and Jayne Gurton. This week, Callie is flying solo, sharing her experience as an AuDHDer, neuroinclusion specialist, and parent in a blended family.
In this episode
These are things we’re trying in an actual house, with actual humans who don’t always want to do chores. Some help a lot. Some need changing. The shoes are still in front of the shoe rack.
Start with something that regularly causes friction. Pick one small change, design it with the people who’ll use it, and see how it goes. You’re allowed to adjust it.
Pop us on as a body double while you tackle a manageable job, or just keep us company.
