My Experience Of My : My Life Of ADHD

During the early years of my life my family struggled with managing my ADHD.My mother didn’t want to put me on daily medication at such a young age so my pediatrition advised her to treat my ADHD with a healthy diet and moderate exersice.When I was four years old my mother enrolled me in ballet classes. Ballet was a blast, it gave me a couple of hours out of my day to jump and frolic around which was my favorite thing to do. By enrolling me in ballet classes my mother exposed me to a whole other world.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was around ten years old, but I was not informed of this until the end eleventh grade, when I accidentally stumbled upon the information. I have trouble controlling my focus and completing work in a timely manner, particularly with essays and I occasionally have trouble following along during class lessons, especially with math. I have always had high expectations for myself in school, but had difficulty producing work that displayed my mindset. This was frustrating because I spent twice as much time on homework than my classmates, but still found myself behind on assignments. I always completed my homework, however, the late penalties I often received greatly impacted my grades each year. My parents told the

From the research, children with ADD/ADHD seem difficult to control and teach. It has been discovered that these children act different in home and school. At school, they have difficulties sitting still for a long time, blurting out, distracting others, and completing assignments in a timely manner. Joined with other children in the class, the teacher is unable to give them the one-on-one time that is needed to make sure everyone succeeds, academically. Most of the time, preschools children with ADD/ADHD fail their grade and do not learn the required information in education because of the common disorder that takes over their body and mind.

My entire life I’ve struggled with ADHD. I’m capable of all the work given to me but so many teachers don’t understand how much of a struggle it is for me to focus. It’s not just an excuse for me to be lazy, or get time extensions. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder more well known as ADHD defined by Mayo Clinic as “A chronic condition including attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness.” So basically people with this condition have a hard time focusing, thinking through decisions, and staying still. This is a real condition that affects thousands of children and adults in the united states. The Center for Disease Control and

After reading the articles Driven to Distraction and Lost in Translation, both from Today’s Parent magazine, I have learned many new things. I learned that it is sometimes not very easy to pick out a child with ADHD, even if it is your own child. It could take years to discover that a child has ADHD. It can be easily detected once the child has entered elementary school. One of the signs of ADHD is falling behind in school, or acting up and not being able to pay attention for long periods of time. This causes frustration for the child, the parents, teachers and the other students in the classroom. It is difficult for parents because they do not want to believe that their child has a disability. It is even harder

The length of time in which the students were able to maintain the lower level of severity or the total annulment of symptoms was not considered in this study. Future researchers may benefit from conducting a longitudinal study that follows confirmed cases of ADHD from early childhood to young adulthood. Knowing where students begin their struggles in their educational endeavors and how they end can help researchers determine the best point at which intervention should begin. However, the results that have been found, do justify the suggestion that further research is needed to determine if academic accomplishments, behaviors, and mental stability are affected

I have continued to excel in school, and by the summer before my freshman year, in spite of my doctor’s recommendation, I chose to be taken off of the medication for the ADHD. I was determined to be highly organized and stay focused in my classes. I have learned how to help myself pay attention and stay on task in class. I always take advantage of classroom work time since my ability to focus gets worse by the

Many may ask what the causes of attention-deficit/hyperactive disorders are but the cause of ADHD is not completely understood yet. People suggest that there may be biological abnormalities, hereditary factors, and environmental factors for those who suffer from ADHD. Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactive disorders may have biological abnormalities such as brain structure abnormalities or abnormal biochemical levels (Comer, 2016). Brain structural abnormalities tend to occur in the frontostriatal network of the brain. The frontostriatal network “involves the lateral prefrontal cortex, the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, and the caudate nucleus and putamen” (Curatolo, 2010). It has been shown that patients with ADHD have

By the time I entered the third grade, my parents were divorced and my mom was diagnosed with bipolar, depression and I was diagnosed with ADHD. My mom has always stressed the importance of working for what I wanted. As a kid, I developed a strong passion for technology, which inspired me to come to the University of West Georgia to pursue Computer Science. My first semester here at the University, I found out through Facebook that one of aunts had passed away. I was devastated because I visited her before going off the school and even though she was in the hospital I thought that she was going to be okay. Also, I had already lost two of my other aunts the same year and they had all died three months apart. I didn’t want tell my mom that

It’s normal for a child to occasionally forget to do their homework, get fidgety when they lose interest in an activity, or speak out of turn during class time. But inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are all signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a neuro-development disorder and can start as early as three years old throughout adulthood. People with ADHD have trouble focusing on tasks and activities, this can have a negative impact on the individual in different ways. It can make the child feel alone, incompetent, and powerless and those that don’t understand this behavior only intensified their struggle. Family and schools have a major impact on the life of a child suffering with ADHD. Parents who

When people think of ADHD they tend to think of overactive, noisy boys who are disruptive in class and won’t sit still. In reality, ADHD affects both sexes and all age groups. Also, hyperactivity is only one part of ADHD and may not be relevant at all for some children. When present, the hyperactivity often burns out by adulthood. In many cases children at school with the disorder tend to be quite smart and creative but the lack of focus can result in not doing their work, constantly daydreaming and not making contact with the present world. To help the child focus, there are some tips to follow. One of them is to keep a special journal with all the time to write down things, like what homework I have and when things are due. You can try to

Being a military brat is always hard, but my challenges were exacerbated by my extreme ADHD. Feeling constantly uprooted and the perpetual new kid on the block made it almost impossible to connect with other kids. After a while, I started to feel like the human Tesla coil: creative and energetic, but erratic, misunderstood, and perhaps a bit intimidating. Certainly not something anyone wanted to get close to. Eventually I learned that I needed to harness that energy in a different way. I channeled it into learning about technology and I came to a realization: technology has brought us to a level of interconnectedness and opportunity unprecedented in human history, and that is worth safeguarding.

I started homeschooling in third grade, after my brother died. I missed too much school for the funeral, and my mom thought it would be easier to heal if I wasn’t in public school, where I wasn’t happy anyways. I had no friends in public school, and even at such a young age, I was ostracized. I always wore dresses, little polka dot clogs, (Why my mother made me wear polka dotted clogs, I do not know.) and was never

At age eleven my parents divorced. In response to the tension, I gained weight, and when my father noticed how much time I spent worrying about my appearance and reputation, he grew concerned and decided to homeschool me. There were satisfactory benefits that came along with homeschooling, while other aspects took a little bit of adjustment. For instance, I could study in my pajamas or take breaks when
