[quote=Anonymous]I encouraged my adhd kid to lean onto their areas of strength and aptitude. They pursued an area of performing arts and an academic area of strength very deeply. I knew what they enjoyed and found great opportunities that fit their interests...often requiring auditions and applications - and they did it bc it was exciting, challenging and interesting for them. I made suggestions and found opportunities but never forced my kid to do anything. It helped that my kid liked new experiences and it also helped that they were surrounded by other highly motivated kids so pursuing ECs was normalized. My kid is now at a top school and I am pretty sure their ECs helped them stand out and got them in. And they are still happily doing those same EC in college. [/quote]
