Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD is a condition that affects the parts of the brain that help a person plan, concentrate, execute tasks, and motivate themself. It is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention, and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with a person’s ability to develop and/or function.
ADHD is a form of neurodiversity where the structure of the brain differs from the majority of people. ADHD comes with strengths and weaknesses, and many systems you regularly interact with (the University for example) are not always structured in a way that is conducive to how an ADHD mind works.
There are resources and strategies that students with ADHD can use to help them to succeed.
