It’s definitely training. Like learning to study in smaller blocks and do something physical in between. As well as living a disciplined life, such as keeping a bedtime that is reasonable.

Finding out one’s aptitude would definitely help as well, because people with ADHD have a really deep work ethic if they are doing something that interests them. Find the right occupation and you risk him not quitting work because he’s in the middle of something.

I wouldn’t say that. A lot of kids were just lumped into the “troubled” category, which comes with a lot of stigma, leads to drop outs, and then they’re outside society. If you look back at hose days and all those “groups” of people that weren’t really a part of society, hobos, temporary hands, outlaw bikers. There’s a whole lot of people that just fell through the cracks, starting when they were kids.
