Another thing to look for is her relationship with her spouse. If the person is not functioning at all with the spouse and all other attempts have failed and the spouse cannot cope with a situation in which there is not multi-tasking then the couple should get family counseling.

The family counselor should feel the fact that the spouse should accept the person who cannot multi-task as she is since this is a major change in most cases after some family counseling he will accept her limitations to a certain degree or perhaps with certain conditions. However if he cannot accept the fact that she is limited than it should be pointed out that changing her so that she can multi-task will make a major change in her psyche. If he still rejects this concept then there is a situation in which the wife has to choose between a major change in the psyche and her husband.

Here other questions should be asked. In many cases the questions really involves additional secondary additional issues relating to the husband and deeper problems beyond those of multi-tasking. This is what needs to be investigated at this time.

If the problem is only the issue of multi-tasking and this is causing a sufficient rift between the couple so that they can no longer cope then the counselor will have to help them make a decision about whether to stay together and get counseling or whether he should learn to cope with her lack of ability to multi-task or whether they should indeed separate. However, such cases are rare indeed. In most cases the issue is rather a different factor and the question that comes to the fore are that of the spouse’s inability to multi-task is not the real issue which needs to be treated.
