Please teach me through my sense of "touch". I need "hands-on" and body movement.
I need to know what comes next.
Please give me a structured environment with a dependable routine.
Give me an advanced warning if there will be changes.
Wait for me, I'm still thinking.
Please allow me to go at my own pace.
If I rush, I get confused and upset.
"I'm stuck! I can't do it!"
Please offer me options for problem-solving.
I need to know the detours when the road is blocked.
Is it right? I need to know NOW!
Please give me rich and immediate feedback on how I'm doing.
I didn't know I WASN'T in my seat!
Please remind me to stop, think and act.
Am I almost done now?
Please give me short work periods with short-term goals.
"What?"
Please don't say "I already told you that"...
Tell me again in different words.
Give me a signal. Draw me a symbol.
I know, It's ALL wrong, isn't it?
Please give me praise for partial success.
Reward me for self-improvement, not just for perfection.
But why do I always get yelled at?
Please catch me doing something right!
Praise me for my specific positive behavior.
Remind me (and you) about my good points,
when I'm having a bad day.
I may be hard to live with, and have ADHD, but I still have feelings.
"I would have never chosen to behave like I do sometimes."
