If you have ADHD or ADD, you may find yourself struggling to learn in the same way your classmates do. As someone with ADHD, and somebody who loves learning, I know exactly what it’s like to fight my own brain to meet deadlines, try to stay engaged in three-hour-long lectures and partake in seminars where most of the time I am nodding a long but cannot hear a word the person in front of me is saying. As someone who has now achieved two Master’s degrees and a BA with Honors, I can tell you safely that being an effective learner with ADHD/ADD is totally possible, however, it does come with hurdles. In this blog, I have outlined some of the effective strategies that have worked for me.
