thanks for the resources. I’m a sped teacher, so I know how many kids beat themselves up about having it. I like to say “your brain just thinks differently and has different strengths and weaknesses than people without adhd” make sure you also say that they CAN succeed with the right accommodations. Many have given up on themselves by middle school. The more positive the better.
