ADHD & the Value of Understanding Learning Modalities

It wasn’t until my early 30s when pursuing my master’s degree that I finally learned how to study in a way that worked with my ADHD brain and helped me to retain information. Prior to this, I struggled hugely and compared my abilities to that of my friends, trying to adopt their study methods. This only led to frustration and a sense of failure, making exams particularly challenging, especially in subjects I found less interesting. To my knowledge there was little known about learning modalities back then. Thankfully this has changed.
