Assumes middle to upper class funds, including a large house and car and funds for hiring someone for yardwork and cleaning. (Who has room for three bureaus of clothes in their bedroom?)
Also assumes there is someone without ADHD in the house who is upset with the ADHDer's mess, there are no other disabilities (don't keep health records!) and no one else you know has ADHD, and that efficiency always trumps beauty. Assumes traditional gender roles. Condescending tone.
The philosophy of this book can be summed up by 1) "brutal purgeing" anything that does not have immediate use, 2) don't buy things you don't need, 3) store things where they are used in open bins or on hooks. This is not a terrible philosophy, but the above assumptions were unneeded. Examples are to the point but drag on a bit.
