A large number of crusty, old, dirty dishes can be overwhelming and even paralyzing for someone with ADHD. To cut down on the unwashed mess, we first must limit the number of dishes in our home. Consider reducing the china to a volume that fills the dishwasher and not much more. It is better to be forced to run the dishwasher or wash a small number of dishes more frequently, than to have a kitchen always buried beneath dirty dishes.
