Hi! My name is Frederik. I'm an 18 year old boy from Denmark and I was recently diagnosed with ADD. I have always had a lot of problems with doing homework, cleaning in the house, doing chores etc. My parents even made lists, but I litteraly forgot all about them. I watched out for the house when they were on vacation, and I simply didn't do everything they required me to do. Anyways they became pretty mad, and this is where I'm confused... Is it because I'm lazy, or is it add? And even if it is ADD, then I would hate the pull the "ADD card" and simply say I didn't do it because I have it. But I must say that I'm heartbroken everytime I get in trouble for not doing chores, but I never ment to "fail" my parents. Do you have any tips on how to deal with this? Both for my parents and me? Because my selfworth goes down everytime, and they become annoyed.. Also, can anyone draw a line to when it's fair to "blame it" on ADD, and when it's not? I just wish for the best, for both me AND my parents

-Thank you.
