i think its gets better from there.

I couldnt read till age 7. and I had a hard time writing notes.

I had to repeat grade 1 and took tutorials the following year.

i think, at most cases ADHD students can remain in regular schools but best you choose one with small number of students, and with less pressure to excel. learning can be very slow for us.

I understand SPED schools can be expensive. I think its best an ADHD get moral support, and better if you are with your child in a normal school.

He is going thru great stress, and if u are with him by his side – he will be able to cope better.

He may be good with work which are not confined in the office.

I am in sales, and I like it.
Sometimes im also a designer.

I have 3 professions, and many interests. and I do intend to
continue having 3 professions
for a long time.

i love that I am able to shift
in all three professions.

Aside from getting constant movement or excercise, ADHD patients may also try
listening skills by tuning the brainwaves
to correct state.

I suggest you researched at the brainwaves, GAMMA, BETA, ALPHA, DELTA and THELTA.

From my research, normal people’s brainwaves are tuned at BETA, while ADHD patients are tuned in ALPHA-DELTA.

Listening to these tunes can help achieve concentration and focus.

It is also inexpensive treatment as compared to medicines.

I was able to download my music thru IPOD aplication.

type: brainwaves.

I hope ADHD can be treated in public schools thru the listening method, and
with giving students additional care and sensitivity.

I went to a exclusive girls school and
finished at a university. I must agree, that although I am intelligent with above average iq, it was very hard to be at school, especially in the developmental ages from 4-7. I had very bad tantrums, fears, anxieties and anger when i was a little child, and strong in attentiveness from grade school to high school.

During exams, the maximum time I could concentrate in studying was 1 hour, and had a very low absorption on the matter.

Effectivity of learning these subjects were so low because although it was not obvious, my mind was wandering constantly- day dreaming. Ideas galore entering my head.

In college, I had some painc attacks and the constant feeling of being overwhelmed on tasks at hand.

When I was 27 years old I notice when I couldnt cope in such a controlled and strict environment, such as the office workplace making “charts”. My attention span was so bad that I had to do everything four times spending a lot of time rechecking everything and still not getting it right. I did not understand what was wrong with me and why I had so many mistakes, and why I couldnt pull it together when it was suppose to be such an easy task. i caught myself in a weird pattern of staring at the computer, looking at the file, look elsewhere- forget the number, forget the system – back to the computer, back to the file- in a pattern which I couldnt put anything together. I was so unhappy especially because I had low self-esteem on what I could achieve as a person.

It seems that if i am not interested in a subject, and it requires too many details I automatically shift attention. it is very very hard to comprehend things that are not personally interesting esp. abiding by rules in such a strict environment. Attention shifts automatically.

After noticing this, my mom decided that I see a councilor. My complain was that I couldnt put anything together, and I was breaking down…

My psychologist gave me the greatest advice to focus on the things Im good at, and to accept that I am wired differently and that I should.

Its true there are many things that I am good at given the correct environment and with occasional help.

My advice is, that if your child has adhd and fears or worries, address them and be patient because “we” tend to be in a loop – and have a tendency to interconnect things with either negativity or possitivity.

I tell you there are many things an ADHD can be good at, this is because of his/her ability of inattentiveness and hyperfocusing on the things he or she may be interested at.

Please find the things that your kid is interested with, and develop his intelligence with his interests. You will learn that he learns in a progressive manner, but not in the usual method of books and memorization.
