Hey
I appreciated your post, it sums up precisely what I experience too. I'm in the UK and not diagnosed, though was meant to go for testing when I was younger but I didn't show up. I'm 21 but back starting a degree in english and finance. I started a law degree before but pulled out. Right now I have 2 essays, not started, due monday and research books scattered on the floor around my desk. I'm thinking I have made no progress in regards to studying, finishing things etc. since I was in my mid-teens. I find I do best in problem solving, you're given most the information in the question to work out the answer, so little recall is required. I guess if you have any flexibility in what work they grade you on, you could try swing it that way. I have pretty useless tips but I will share the small things I attempt! What sometimes helps me is if I have a few webpages or books open at once, so I can dot about, but on to something still productive. I have music on, nothing too bouncy! I also do any downloads, general stuff on your computer at the same time as working, again so I can go back and forth. I sometimes pretend (like roleplay in my head!?) that I am teaching the stuff to someone else, it engages my attention and it seems a good any of learning. Do you find writing posts difficult to do too? I'm not sure I have ADD but I'm interested in anybody elses tips/suggestions too. Hopefully you get some good replies!
