DEAR ABBY: I m responding to the letter from Open-and-Shut Case in Virginia (Oct. 20), who complained her son-in-law was disrespectful because he didn t close cupboard doors, cereal boxes, etc. My guess is that Kirk is displaying classic symptoms of Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (AADD). Multistep tasks may be difficult for him to complete because he is easily distracted.
My husband has this. (It was not diagnosed until he was in his 50s, and I had nearly torn all my hair out.) He still occasionally leaves cabinet doors and drawers open. I tease him that he can t remember to walk from one side of the room to another if he forgets to take his medication.

Dear Abby: Son-in-law’s distraction may be more than forgetfulness
Dear Abby
Dear Abby: I’m responding to the letter from “Open-and-Shut Case in Virginia” (Oct. 20), who complained her son-in-law was “disrespectful” because he didn’t close cupboard doors, cereal boxes, etc. My guess is that “Kirk” is displaying classic symptoms of Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (AADD). Multistep tasks may be difficult for him to complete because he is easily distracted.
