I WANT

[adhd-deluxe]

2 months ago I got an assignment on ADHD in Psychology. It’s due tomorrow and I have written one paragraph…

[adhd-community]

I had to write an email to my professors in my final year asking for an extension on an essay about adhd because of my adhd.

It began: “So I’m aware of the irony here…”

[adhd-community]

Just revisiting this to point put that they did give me an extension. I handed in the assessment, did pretty well on it, and the professor I most respected in the university (who ran the class) never said a word about it to me.

It turns out they didn’t care at all about the extended deadline, just that I was trying and that I gave them a heads up when I needed help.

Remember to ask for help when you need it, even if it makes you feel a little silly. Ask early if you can so that the people you’re asking have time to think about a response/plan of action, but if you find yourself stressing out 24hours out from a deadline still just ask.

This has been one of the hardest and most important things I have learnt over the last 10 years.

Ask for help. Ask early. Even if it’s scary.

You are not a burden.

You are not dumb.

You are not expected to already just “know” everything.

Needing help does not make you weak and asking for help makes you incredibly strong.

A few points here that bear repeating:

“Ask for help.”

“Ask early.”

“Even if it’s scary.”

And finally, and perhaps most importantly…

“Needing help does not make you weak and asking for help makes you incredibly strong.”

This is like a small child uncertainty taking a bite of their first piece of cake and then realizing that it’s the best damn thing they’ve ever eaten and shoving it all right into their face with grabby hands and just delighted. I love this kitty.

This cat looks very graceful. A proper lady.

Ok but this is even better

[hearts-pearls]

this works for classes that arent prerequisites, or homework that wont come in a test. imagine not doing your algebra homework, and passing with a to calculus. 

[hundondestiny]

It’s not a matter of “not doing” the homework. You’re sharing the load for the same assignments, which means everyone gets to work through 1 thing on their own and then they can look over and learn from what the other students have done.

Sharing homework isn’t the same as just cheating off a test, bc you still have to process homework as you’re doing it, and for some people it helps to know that what they’re doing is the right steps because then it’s easier to remember.

Unlike traditional homework standards, where you turn it in and don’t know if it’s right until some time after, by which time you’ve already internalized your way of doing it, and if that’s wrong you have to retrain yourself. Which takes far more energy and really isn’t helpful. Especially when teachers will return grades as you’re taking another exam and shit.

[zvaigzdelasas]

Also! You have other people’s grades somewhat reliant on you, which in-itself can b a motivating force

[cop-disliker69]

Also! Homework is completely pointless and numerous studies have shown it doesn’t help learning at all. Schools with lots of homework, a little homework, and no homework at all do exactly the same on standardized tests.

It’s a punishment and oppression that children are smart and morally right to attempt to evade by whatever means necessary.
