'Some teachers don’t understand ADHD, and they don’t want to learn about it. My dad says forgive them, for they know not that they know not. Once you have lived with someone who has ADHD, your view of it changes radically.'
, and they don’t want to learn about it. My dad says forgive them, for they know not that they know not. Once you have lived with someone who has ADHD, your view of it changes radically. I’m confident that many of my professors are simply one child or grandchild away from understanding — and appreciating — the extra burden carried by a student with ADHD.
Despite my carefully plotted approach plan, because I am afraid of some authority figures, I tend to forget what I’ve planned to say. The cogent arguments I have built into my presentation dwindle away after the first sentence. This, along with just plain forgetting to talk to the teacher at all, has been my downfall on more than one occasion.
Even when I have written a reminder to myself in my assignment book… I forget. The last five minutes of class cast a spell over me, and I focus solely on getting the you-know-what out of there. If I have not written a reminder on my hand, I return home, sit down, and think “D’oh!” Thankfully, e-mail has turned out to be my personal savior.
It is also a good idea to ally yourself with the counseling service, or whatever office your school provides to students qualified for accommodations. If I have trouble with a teacher, I know where to go for guidance… and maybe even for some advocacy with an indifferent teacher.
