Oh my gosh!! I had never heard of this before! What an awesome way to learn and memorize scripture! Thank you!! I was unaware that I had ADHD until recently, when my daughter looked into it for herself and said, " mom! I'm pretty sure you have ADHD! Lol! I did some research myself and I'm telling you, I could be the poster child! I just wish I had known my daughter's problems were caused by this. So much makes sense now! (For both of us) I'm learning how to deal with things that trip me up and that just because starting things and then completing them is so hard it doesnt mean I'm lazy or stupid. I swear I can't remember anything from one moment to the next, especially bible verses! Other people do it, why can't I? Well now I know. I can't concentrate long enough for it to stick. And math?! In my head?! Lol! I could never remember the algebra problem solving equation so I could solve it on a test. I just felt stupid. We've come a long way in understanding the brain haven't we! It sounds like we both have wonderful husbands who love us. What a blessing!! Thank you again for the verse by alphabet trick!

I realized I’m ADHD the same way you did. When my son at about 21 was diagnosed he encouraged me to look at a list of “symptoms “ I was flabbergasted.
Never took medication but using the insight to navigate life has been extremely helpful. The most important has been taking notes during phone conversations of information I want to remember and hyperfocusing on people who need me to listen well and when I’m driving in unfamiliar places.
