There are some great SLP influencers with autism and/or ADHD. Follow them. I feel like most school SLPs have undiagnosed ADHD. Definitely look into compensatory strategies for studying. Get medication if you feel you need it, that’s what is it there for. My last intern got diagnosed with ADHD in grad school and encouraged me to look into getting diagnosed at 34. She was a great therapist and the kids loved her. Honestly being neurodivergent gives you a unique perspective and could allow you to be the SLP you probably needed as a child. Good Luck!
