Trying to help my sister

Hey, my sister had an ADHD problem since her teenage.
She has been to an ADHD coach  https://www.evokelearning.ca/coaching/adhd-coaching/ in Toronto for the past years. The coach, Emily was like her family. My sister was doing great all these years.
She is now graduated. It has been a year since she joined her first job. Even when she defeated the attention deficiency, stIll she seemed like a nerd. She wasn't consulting her coach for the past year. But they were good friends.
The thing is, last month her coach has moved to Vancouver! Ever since then, she seems very disorganized and agitated! Her behaviour is causing issues at her work.
She is absent-minded by birth, it has drastically increased now, her career is under stake. I'm concerned about her, she will go out of control if she is losing the job. I tried to help her out by using methods like memory place and method of locii, it looked working. But it demands some efforts and which makes her more anxious!
I have gifted her a book called Moonwalking with Einstein, she loved it! In fact, it is giving her positive vibes and hope. Unfortunately, nothing is guaranteeing any long term outcomes.
Better we should look for a proved ADHD coach or counsellor. Otherwise, I need to find proven methods to support her to achieve her goals.
We were brought up by a single mom. Our mom is no more, I'm more like her mom!
Please share your experience and suggest some healthy activities for her to practice. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to improve her life.

  • Hi there! It's so nice of you to help out your sister. I believe that you are a very caring person.

    It seemed like she was doing very well when she was doing the coaching. I don't have ADHD myself, but from observations of other people who do, it seems like a coach or having someone by their side, helps a lot with attention and organisation. Is she considering finding another coach or counsellor? I've also heard from other people with ADHD that setting multiple timers for things helps them a lot. I wish I could give you more suggestions, but as I don't experience the condition myself, most of my suggestions are second-handed. Anyway, I wish you all the best!

  • Thanks for your kind encouragement qwerty! It is overwhelming.
    I'm an IT professional. I usually have a tight schedule at work!
    Sometimes, I even try hard to get time to spend with her. But mostly it ends up like a dream. That is where her coach won all the time. Her coach was a lifesaver, I appreciate that. So far she isn't ready to cooperate with another coach, but I'm sure will convince her soon. Till then I'm planning to take charge of her daily routines.
    I got the autism helpline number, I hope they can help me out in this.
