ABSTRACT

Like many adults with ADD, Edgar is an “OosOom”—out of sight, out of mind person. Edgar does what he can see, and does not do what he cannot see. So if Edgar wants to be certain that the books get returned to the library and that the greetings cards go out on time, he must have them out in front of him. He leaves the items he ordered online that he needs to return, the framing project, and even bill paying chores in full view as daily visual reminders of tasks to perform. Without his things as prompts and cues, Edgar would simply not remember to do what he needs to do.
