Just because you now have a name and/or meds for the "chronic disorganization" does not mean it will be cured. I had some TERRIBLE reactions/side-effects to the first four or five medications they tried to give me. It took almost a year to find the right combination/dosage. It would have been nice to have someone to leave my 3 y.o. with on occasion during that time. Also, a lot of what we do is learned behavior (i.e. - both my parents are ADHD & in denial) and DEEPLY ingrained habits that are very difficult to extract and relearn. Be patient and try to understand it is a process. Even with medication it is still a LOT of HARD WORK and we still can get easily overwhelmed. Be patient, love her for her positive qualities and notice when she just do something remotely "organized" or for the days that time management actually does work.
