Have any tips on powering through schoolwork?

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone have any techniques on getting schoolwork done for someone with ASD and severe ADHD? I have certain foods I avoid when I need to work (like stuff with red 40) and I know about the Pomodoro technique, but 20 or 30 minutes of solid work is a lot for me and 5 minutes of break isn't enough to balance it. I also have trouble with rewards because my brain basically says there's no point if I could just have the reward without doing any work. I'm medicated, but it's still getting harder to get anything done on time and it's crushing my grades.

I'm honestly at my wit's end here. Any tips?

When I have work to do I put on headphones and listen to one of those youtube adhd focus music videos. Works for me. Sometimes.

Hope it helps.
