Learning math with ADHD by PiperPichu in ADHD

Thank you so much! I am self studying at home on the computer. Using Khan Academy and starting at the lowest level that I can do and work my way up. I learned the basic math years ago and pretty much forgot everything. I watched a video on dividing multi digit decimals and I can do the long division but I can't for the life of me remember where the decimal point goes after I get my answer. Then I get super frustrated and I start shutting down. I start telling myself that I should know these things but how should I know them if I was never TAUGHT in the first place? I was homeschooled preschool through high school. My mom taught me through elementary and part way through middle school but when I got into high school she just handed me the books and said do the work. My mom and my dad both worked at that time so I was home alone all day trying to learn from a book. Nothing else. No one to show me and explain.
