Tons of people with "learning disabilities" just aren't being taught in a way that stimulates them. People with ADHD often have the ability to absorb and process information super quickly, which means that in a classroom setting you could get all the required information in a compressed 5 minute session instead of having to sit through the entire boring lecture.

I, myself, learn my best by visually watching something. Watching the entire process flow from above helps me visualize every step, and I usually perform the action or task with great success afterwards.

When It comes to more mundane paperwork such as math, or history, often putting things into a game or puzzle for your mind helps the information stick once its inside instead of in one ear and out the other.

Meditate...learn to shut your mind off and relax. It’s easier said than done. Really helps.

I have recently been using L-lysine. It is an amino acid. It has done wonders for my concentration and energy!

Feed your brain proper nutrition. Eat meat and animal fats including butter. Your brain MUST have these fats. Avoid sugar and white flour products. (really should not eat them) Use real organic stevia "O" brand at safeway for instance. Not others that have added alcohol sugars. This stevia is sweet and perfect! Do not, not, not... drink chem sweetened sodas. Doing these things will get you on a good start. If you are feeding your brain garbage, nothing else you do is going to help you much.

Find your own brilliance. Everyone is made by God wonderfully and differently. Perhaps what you are trying to learn is not His plan for you. Perhaps the way it is taugt is not a good fit. You will find your path.

Get 8 hours of sleep.

Drink water constantly.

Avoid mass amounts of processed sugar, carbs, and heavy sodium (especially MSG).

Obtain electrolytes.

Take multivitamins.

If you're a musician, use a metronome. (real one, not a phone app or a beeping one)

Exercise.

Cut down the drugs and alcohol.

Stop smoking cigarettes.

Clean your environment.

Organize your environment.

Stay away from toxic/stressful people who knowingly exploit your disability.

Read a book. When you start jumping sentences. Go back and read slowly. This isn't fixed overnight.

Keep asking questions and looking for answers.

Set realistic expectations, followed by a small schedule.

Don't give up.

Several components:

• Diet (stay properly hydrated, have enough protein, not too much sugar), especially if you're on ADHD medication

• Find something you're passionate about and make that your world, then all "distractions" will become useful and powerful tangents

• Meditate. This will help you stay focused and change focus in the long run, along with countless other benefits that aren't immediately relevant to your question.

Also, I'm suspecting that the medical industry completely misunderstands and misclassifies ADHD.

If I absolutely had to bet my life on it, I would say that people with ADHD just use a different approach to problem solving than "neurotypical" people and that's it.

It just so happens that the entire society is set up and run by people running schedules and making up stupid rules, e.g. "neurotypicals".

So obviously the non-neurotypicals will look "weird" in contrast. Ironically, normies tend to be the most dense, regardless of their field.

I read some where a while back a Dr that specialized in natural medicine linked all sorts of illnesses to parasites. Maybe try some kind of natural dewormer and parasite cleanse. Couldn’t hurt

Develop ways to positively discipline yourself. Imo, most of our modern behavioral flaws stem from missing the proper role models in our development. Thank you progressive movement for dividing our homes.... /s

Set realistic, positive goals and stick to working at them. You only fail if you give up. Learn to forgive yourself when you fall, especially while striving for positive goals. Always work at being better. Small gains matter too. Learn to stack them, over time, you will see the difference.

Your brain needs EPA and DHA, fish oil, to calm down. Do research on Omega-3 oils and ADHD. This is the first step. You need to nourish yourself and stay away from processed foods and especially sugar. Same goes for children, of course.

You must be a tinfoil crackpot to think that children are supposed to be happy, chirpy and energetic instead of zombified little robots. (/s btw)

I believe it's real but heavily exxaggerated in order to push more pills into our children. Lets fight the wrongdoings, but not deny help to those who need It for real

L-theanine, green tea extract Fish oils Exercise Schedule yourself for enhanced structure Nature breaks

YES!

have you tried CBD or marijuana if available? something to calm your mind down so you can focus.

Walsh Protocol. My kid had learning disabilities, but being homeschooled, she does things her way. Even so, we began doing the Walsh Protocol. Lots of supplememts involved. She's really improved.

As others have said, it all begins in your gut. You might think you're ok, but have never experienced a reset digestive track. If you aren't absorbing enough B vitamins, you'll get brain fog. A celery juice cleanse can reset your stomach.

I have two children who were unable to function in school according to their teachers in 2nd and K grades. The Dr put them on meds and my kids were miserable. We homeschool now and it's not easy, but not medicated and it may take longer to pick stuff up, but they aren't intended to be stuck behind a desk. They want to be outside playing and running around. I'm learning how to teach them still but learning that they don't need to fit into the box. We fit learning to the children at home. They are happier. I would love to hear about suppliments or other activities to help with focus at home. Now that it's warmer out, I intend on doing school outside a little more.

yes cut out diet additives

My son has what would be labeled ADHD. Little guy struggles with focus.

Good quality fish oil helps him. I notice a difference when he has it and has not. The Omega 3s help your brain with processing things and are missing from most our diets.

Aromatherapy can help as well.

Diet fatty.

You need to be stable mentally and emotionally throughout the day. Having energy spikes (like a sugar rush) throughout the day will only hinder you.

Get off the quick burning energy sources namely sugar and carbs.

Replace with the slow burning energy that is fat, tons of veggies and good protein.

Fruits have loads of sugar stay away, careful with some veggies as well like carrots.

Avocados are a god damn super food. Good clean fat and potassium.

Deadass cut out sugar and carbs for (insert a doable goal) I'd say at least 5 days minimum. And see how you feel.

I consider most add kids as one or both of the following categories.

Shit diet, and or no self control.

Getting your diet in order takes care of both things at once. Then apply the self control to other areas.

How is your sleep? People who are deep and REM sleep deprived ar more likely to show ADHD symptoms.

For example, people who were diagnosed with ADHD, then later diagnosed with sleep apnea and got it treated, then stopped showing symptoms.

Exercise 3- 4 days a week, drink water, regular sleep. I haven't taken my ADD meds in 2 years

Cannabis

Binaural beats could be helpful. Definitely worth a go.

Keto diet, Herblogic -quiet mind and fixed focus, as well other herbal and homeopathic remedies work for me. Practice focusing on one task and build up your ability to focus and quite your mind. Exercise.

Switch to a keto diet and only eat one meal a day

I have Asperger's, and I happen to learn better by reading than by hearing a lecture. You might want to do a test. Pick a subject you're interested in, but don't know much about. Search for a book on the subject, and a YouTube video about it, and a school instructional lecture about it. Take notes and see which one you get more from. Then let someone else proofread your notes and see if you're dyslexic, as it shows up as poor spelling in some people (like my next door neighbor). If one of those methods tests as better, then use that method.

There are also other problems you might have, such as fear of testing. For that, look on the internet for info on how to take tests. That will lessen the fear. For example, on a True/False test, if a statement says "always" or "never," it is probably false. On multiple choice tests, you can usually eliminate one or two answers right off the bat, because they are either way off the mark or just plain silly. Always have plenty of protein for breakfast on the day of a test and rest the night before. Also, remember that they can't put you in prison for not making a good enough grade on a test. All they can do is mark up the test and put a bad grade on it. You can continue your education anyway.

I do better by myself than I do with others. The noise and movement is distracting, and I can't cope with politics.

I have a huge library at home. I have saved a ton of videos. And I have a separate room away from everything where I can have complete quiet or play music and study, write, or goof off, whatever I want when I want.

To sum it up, you need to do some self-experimentation to see what works for you.

Exercise. Limit your caffeine. Find ways to work with your brain instead of against it.
