Challenges of Transitioning to College or Work with ADHD
Many young adults with ADHD face challenges in managing executive function as they transition to college or work. This often includes difficulties in managing multiple demands, such as coursework, finances, social life, and daily responsibilities. Parents who have been providing extensive support and scaffolding may find it challenging to step back during this transition. Developing self-advocacy skills and the ability to communicate with professors or supervisors is crucial for success. It is important for students to understand their own needs, seek accommodations, and learn how to navigate challenges in a college or work environment.
