What I Learned To Learn With Adhd

523 Words3 Pages

When I was little I was diagnosed with ADHD. One of the hardest lessons that I've had to learn was not to get distracted by every little thing. Being distracted has caused me to get into a car accident, falling and getting injured in gymnastics, and had a hard time in school. Through these different problems that have occurred, I have finally learned my lesson to stay focused in whatever I do.
A couple of months ago, I was driving back from on the beach with a friend, and while I was driving I got distracted by something and looked down at my legs. Well, when I looked down at my legs I didn't realize there was a red light and I crashed into the car in front of me. None of us were severely injured, but it t taught me a good lesson. This showed me to keep my eyes on the road at all times and not get distracted by anything at all. When you look away for just one second, you never know what will happen in that one second.
School has always been n difficult for me, but not listening and paying attention is what caused it to be more difficult. When I didn't listen and pay attention in class I received bad grades at times and I wouldn't know …show more content…

Gymnastics is a sport where you have to stay focused a hundred percent of the time. There have been so many times where I have fell because I wasn’t focused. I would be on the balance beam and look over at a friend or something and completely fall. No matter how many times I fell, I still didn’t learn my lesson, until I got seriously injured. My team was doing a practice competition at my gym. The next event was floor and it was my turn to compete.

  • Adhd Is Overdiagnosed By Caryn Carlson

    560 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the article “ADHD Is Overdiagnosed”, by Caryn Carlson, the author Carlson is discussing the factors that are leading to ADHD currently being overdiagnosed and overtreated. According to Carlson, based on recent studies there is reason to believe that ADHD is being overdiagnosed in certain regions of the U.S., namely the use of the drug methylphenidate has skyrocketed soon after the turn of the century. Its usage had doubled from 2001 to 2006, with its largest increase stemming from teenagers and young adults. Carlson states that the dramatic increase most likely supports the theory of over diagnose. One of the reasons behind this is that clinicians sometimes diagnose without assessing all criteria and rely mainly on parent reports.

One of the first times I experienced this was at five years old, when my mother enrolled me and my sister into a gymnastics class. At the time, for my mom this decision seemed like the right thing to do; her daughters would stay active and healthy from a young age just as she did growing up. Little did my mom know that almost thirteen years later I would still be in love with the sport.
