Hi folks. I think my 16yo son has ADHD. He shows a lot of the classic behaviours. (Not listed for brevity)

He’s smart, performs well in class, but struggles badly with exams, detail. He is also struggling with revision. He’s been a high performing up until now but he’s hit hit the limit of his abilities.

His exams are 2 months away, we won’t get a diagnosis in time 😔

Can anyone here suggest resources or personal insights that could help me help him through this period?

Thanks!

This is a good idea thanks! My wife and I talked about something similar recently. I think we’re going to try having some of our own office work scheduled for times when he is studying/revising.

My sense is that his problem isn’t particularly the understanding of the topic, it’s laying down a deep enough application of it to get the marks in the exams.
