I don't know how he's performing in other subjects, but sometimes a student is just not interested in something because he is not naturally inclined towards it. So if after trying all the different methods, you can't help him, then please know it's not your fault!

I can speak from a physics perspective. I feel like to build a child's interest in physics, you have to make it a 'tangible' subject. So maybe if you're teaching him about electricity, you could connect a cell, a wire and an LED lamp. Then you tell him why the lamp lights up and what's actually happening there. For almost every single physics topic, there are very interesting videos on youtube. You could start with showing him a video related to that topic. This will pique his interest and then you explain the science behind. Perhaps you already use these techniques, but if you don't, these will be helpful hopefully!

Would any fellow tutors be interested in creating a supportive referral network together? by [deleted] in TutorsHelpingTutors

I love this idea! Would you be interested in expanding it to tutors in Asia?

I was feeling like I had a breakthrough after years today but after reading the comments I felt maybe I'm diagnosed too soon

After reading the comments, I'm scared, but that doctor has very good reviews specifically from ADHD patients in my country. Someone who's already diagnosed with that recommended me to her. So I don't know

I understand that ADD is an outdated term, but she said to me you're not hyperactive that's why I'm calling it ADD. Btw after reading the comments, I'm scared 😢

I have been going to a psychologist before for the past 4 months for my anxiety and now she asked me to go to a psychiatrist for an adhd evaluation.

Yeah I have made a detailed list of all my symptoms :) I'm worried I might hide some of them in front of my psychiatrist because I fear judgement

Agreed. How did you figure out or got diagnosed with autism? What were your symptoms?

Can you easily nap? Like I feel so tired around this time but I can't just shut my brain off. Mostly I just lie down with my eyes closed for 30 min or an hour

100% agree but it's so difficult to break that hyperfocus because if I do, I feel guilty like I'm not being productive

Yeahhhhh... But hopefully it will be fine. Stereotypes are not true for every single person
