Do ADHD Kids Stand A Chance In College?!


Question: Do ADHD Kids Stand A Chance In College!?
I am 23 and have had ADHD due to Meningitis as a baby and I have all the problems relating to that!. I want to go to school, and can afford to go and have a good job and the time to take a couple classes but every time I go I can't seem to pass the tests but complete all of the homework!.

I just have horrible comprehension and memory problems and don't know how to get around it and I am stuck in this run around with my life!. I am 23!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
this is a little off from the mental health part, but could it be possible that the classes you're doing poorly in just aren't your type of classes!?

im studying to be an accountant right now and i have to take business law!. and i HATE it!. i dropped out last semester, and am failing this semester!. im not even going to go full time next semester just so i focus on that one class!.

but anyway

as for comprehension, you may just have to study more!. remember that phrase "reading isn't just looking at words" college students that do well usually read the same chapter 3 times to thoroughly understand the material!.

memory isn't that hard to work on either!. you can do things like write what you're trying to remember (lists, note taking)!. reciting or going over something three times helps too!.

but if you couldn't get through this post then, yeah, youre pretty much screwedWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'd hate to use this answer, but have you tried medication for ADHD!? If you have and it doesn't work, have you tried the homeopathic route!? You could beef up on vitamins and omega-3!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
