When parent and child share the same neurodivergent challenges

My teenage daughter and I both have ADHD and we're constantly triggering each other's executive function issues - I can't stay organized enough to help her stay organized and she gets overwhelmed which makes me overwhelmed. We want to support each other but we're drowning together instead.

Similar neurological patterns create a feedback loop of mutual dysregulation rather than mutual support.
