REALLY GOOD TOOLS

Alora's Links to Really Good Tools

Everything I would recommend for surviving life with autism or ADHD, the sleep stuff, the non-mint everything, the legendary square notebook, and the fanny pack that holds my whole autism kit. This list keeps growing, because there are just too many helpful things to post in one sitting before lunch!

Lots of space.

My Favorite Cubby System

Affordable, see-through storage you can reshape to fit your room, and you can buy extra cubes to make it bigger.

Open Shelf Organizer

Technically for kids, but it works so well for ADHD adults. I use it in my closet to see all my clothes.

View on Amazon

Cable Organizer for Glasses and Necklaces

The cheapest way to hang a lot of glasses or necklaces. It's sold for cables, so it costs pennies compared to glasses hangers.

Keeps your treasures visible, pretty, and safe from getting knocked over.

Floor Desk

Because every ADHD kid loves floor time. I still love floor time, tbh.

View on Amazon

Motivational Candy: Starburst

Sharing size (I only eat the red and pink ones, lol).

View on Amazon

Murder Mystery Game
