drugs?

A lot of Adderall unfortunately

For me for some reason my hyper focus kicked in at school

In Germany there is a thing where you can do just the exams, that worked for me.

(After being kicked out of several schools)

i was writing everything down ✍🏼 i guess that helped pretty much

barely. No clue how this led me to Nostr. its a xmas miracle.

don't send your kids to school

didn't. also adhd is another word for "being a young human"

Just work together with your school, doctor, organizations that help neurodiverse kids in school. There‘s support frameworks almost everywhere.

Dropped out and traveled the world for 12 years instead

It was tough.

Primary school was hell, had one good teacher and a few friends that made it worth showing up.

Dropped out of highschool when i was 16 and started working, after 6 months went to TAFE and got a year 12 certificate.

If there's anything like TAFE or a community college type thing that they can transition to and finish highschool that way, it was a lot better than finishing school at school would have been for me.

Really don't know what to say about primal school, I used to flip out and throw chairs and stuff when I was really young.

Haven’t been diagnosed w it, also not a parent, but…the approach should depend on the severity, it can really vary. Where it’s minor, perhaps some sort of outside intervention can help, like a parent devoting extra time to sitting with the kid and helping them stay focused and organized. In the absence of that, some sort of councelor or tutor, I’d imagine. For serious cases, I think the only way is for the kid and parent to accept that they’ll likely never excel in a structured academic environment, and to instead encourage other means of growth.

In the hall and principle's office

It wasn't easy, alot of my school time was wasted honestly.

Had a lot of fun, did the minimum required to get into the university program I wanted. Having that goal probably helped a lot.
