&gt; Its unfortunate that the solution is often prescription medication rather than an education that better suits their learning modality.<p>Often the best solution is both. If I struggle to pay attention, am I really going to benefit from more lessons on how to work with myself? This is especially apparent with ADHD, since stimulant meds are not a cure-all. You still need to learn to cope with periods of time when you&#x27;re not medicated (pregnancy, in the morning, before going to bed, on &quot;medication vacations&quot;, etc). I&#x27;m sure for some it could just become an excuse, but that&#x27;s not taking into account the internal frustration built up from not easily being able to &quot;keep up with society&quot;. People take the trash out before it gets too full to close the bag? Do laundry before running out of shirts? Empty the dishwasher when it finishes?
