  • Not really, though. Rigid structure helps with ADHD, but only when someone else is enforcing the structure. Prepubescent kids with ADHD aren’t typically capable of maintaining their own structure. They aren’t neurotypical, it’s more than distraction and energy, they have a functioning issue. They can’t tune out all the stimulus that normal brains do, and because of it they miss a lot of social cues that help with development.

    My son has ADHD and no amount of reorienting our family environment would help him - he could (and has) literally be in a bare concrete room with nothing but his thoughts and get distracted and slam his hands together making exploding/punching sounds for hours, where a typical kid would get bored in seconds.

    Savannah is beautiful. We visited a couple years ago while staying on Tybee Island for vacation. The city park with all the huge trees and Spanish moss was incredible. The weather was perfect and we just walked around town all day hitting bars, shops, and taking pictures. 9/10
