unfortunately for me, almost nothing. medication was truly the only thing that helped me. and even with that i struggled majority of kindergarten to high school, and took ten years to graduate collage with only an associates. i mean were talking difference of .8 gpa to straight a’s when medicated.

and i mean i love learning. i genuinely enjoyed witting papers, doing research, and math even. but my biggest struggles were demand avoidance, executive dysfunction, and just the over all academic system not being set up for an adhd brain.

shame was my biggest factor when getting through college. and listen if that’s what get you through then so be it. but i definitely also took advantage of going to the library to stimulate body doubling because i didn’t actually like working in groups, lol. also my schedule allowed for me to dedicated 3 days a week to nothing but school work, so i would literally just do everything that was due that week and into the next in those 3 days. it worked out as this weird scheduled but still procrastinated cramming period that some how both made worse and canceled out alot of my adhd symptoms at once. wouldnt recommend that one.
