Speak
ADHD.
Stop explaining your family from scratch.
Speak Brain is advice that already knows your family: who has ADHD, who’s anxious, who needs a heads-up before plans change.
same question, different answer
What happened: Dan loaded the dishwasher but didn't start it again.
Without a family profile
“Hey, when the dishwasher's full, can you hit start so we don't end up short on clean dishes?”
Generic advice that doesn't know Dan or Colleen.
With Dan's and Colleen's profiles
“Thanks for loading it! I'll put a sticky note on the door. Can you hit start when you see it? Then I can stop worrying about clean mugs for the morning.”
- Dan: “A sticky note works better for me.”
- Colleen: “I get anxious when things pile up at night.”
Everyone at home thinks differently, including you.

Daughter, 15
Lunch in 10 minutes. She's mid-game with her friends online.

Stepmom and stepdaughter
Six months as a stepfamily. Plates left on the table again.
“I'm not cleaning up after you again.”
“Everyone has their own set of train tracks in their brain, and sometimes a party of squirrels.”
