I have AD\HD, and yes it's a real thing.

The digital world, the internet, and google anything has been both a true source of support, and access to learning, allowing me to go way beyond where I could possibly go in the old days of actually having to go to a library and write information down on an index card then hope both the cards and I would make it back to the dorm together!

23 Things You Shouldn't Say to Someone with ADHD

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Being there for someone with ADD/ADHD can be tricky, and sometimes you might say the wrong thing.

It happens, but it's helpful to keep in mind that some questions or phrases (even well-meaning ones) might have a completely different meaning to someone living with ADHD.

We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community living with ADHD to tell us what they wish other people understood about the disorder; and it reminded us just how many myths and misconceptions are still out there.

To better understand the disorder, we'd suggest reading up on it. And in the meantime, please don't say any of these things to someone with ADHD...
ADD/ADHD is a neurological disorder characterized by difficulty sustaining attention, by lack of self-control, and by impaired working memory. It's now more often classified in medical literature as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but lots of people (including some doctors) still refer to it as ADD.
Nearly 8 million adults in the U.S. suffer from ADHD. To learn more about the disorder and how to find support groups, check out the resources here at the National Resource Center for ADHD.

They are not trying to get out of work! We are not broken, the old way, the one way of teaching just doesn't lead to learning for us. The lecture style, note taking, textbook reading teaching practice is what is broken.
