With ADHD, school can be a booger.
Actually, school was very easy for me – that is, the academic part. Socially and behaviorally, not so much. But the work was very easy, until I hit college. It was like hitting a brick wall. I didn’t know how to study, and I didn’t know that I didn’t know how to study. So I just tried harder. You know how well that works with ADHD.
I did not do well in college. An understatement.
How to Study and Learn, Even with ADHD
I learned how to study in my second year of medical school. It was a life changing revelation. I did well in medical school, from then on. These days, I think most schools teach kids how to study early on. I hope so.
I go into what I learned about how to study in depth in the book. These days, I think most schools teach kids how to study early on. I hope so.

Hi Doug. I love your funnies! I see you have my autobiography: “Well, That Didn’t Work” – Subtitled “Back to the Drawing Board” HA!
I think your strategies can be helpful to students with ADHD. I know they would have helped me decades ago when I was in school. Remember the days before the internet, when we had to obtain information at the library? Now you just look things up on the internet. And you get instantaneous information too! Way, way, much easier for students nowadays!
Your podcast with Jennie was informative. Yes, using strategies, and taking small steps are key to successfully dealing with ADHD. Jeff
