Digital Mentor Monsoon Posted May 28, 2021 Digital Mentor Share Posted May 28, 2021 Heyy @Elise Ah, interesting question - thanks So, can I ask, what makes you think you have ADHD? Have you researching it? When we struggle with attention, it doesn't always mean we have ADHD. It could be that we are distracted, tired, or stressed for example. But yeah, I'm curious to hear about what's going on for you. Speak soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Mentor Blondie Posted May 29, 2021 Digital Mentor Share Posted May 29, 2021 Hey @Elise it can be really useful to rule out other potential causes when figuring this out such as, do you have any stressful or difficult situations going on in your life? On a scale of 1 - 10, how much impact would you say it is having for you in class, at home and when hanging out with your friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
