Hi folks. I think my 16yo son has ADHD. He shows a lot of the classic behaviours. (Not listed for brevity)

He’s smart, performs well in class, but struggles badly with exams, detail. He is also struggling with revision. He’s been a high performing up until now but he’s hit hit the limit of his abilities.

His exams are 2 months away, we won’t get a diagnosis in time 😔

Can anyone here suggest resources or personal insights that could help me help him through this period?

Thanks!

    So just incase your aware adhd or not all brains are a little different, what might work for someone may not work for you so results may vary

    For me though I live my life on calendars and sticky’s

    Like from 10am-12 I’m gonna study my psyc stuff, then a half hour break, then study my history for an hour

    Also I get overwhelmed really easy so breaking up tasks and outlining what needs to be done helps me. For example I don’t need to write a paper, just an introduction, which is X, Y, and Z, get 2 bullet points for each section. Then I move on the next section

    Like I said this is what works for me hopefully this is at least some help
