Welcome to The Neurodivergent Student’s Declassified School Survival Guide.
Are you a college, or university student with Attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or both?
Are you struggling to manage your symptoms while in post-secondary school?
Well, you’ve come to the right place.
To begin, I went most of my life undiagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder. Specifically, ADHD.
It was difficult to manage my symptoms growing up; I often struggled to keep up with my peers. And not knowing what made me different negatively affected my self esteem.
Moreover, I tried countless tips and tricks created for the neurotypical brain.
These strategies would eventually fail, and I would be left sad and defeated, wondering what I did wrong.
Until 2020., when I was diagnosed with ADHD through college. And began learning about neurodivergence in general.
That’s when my whole life changed. I finally found strategies that worked and that I could stick with.
And as a journalism student, I am sharing those strategies with the rest of the neurodivergent community.
Especially fellow college and university students like myself.
I’m sharing this guide so that you don’t have to struggle like I did.
