u/Vascodamus Β· 1 pointr/ADHD

My last job was at a retail store, but in an office setting. We were given two 15 minute breaks, and an hour lunch, for a 9 hour scheduled shift. So something like 2 hours on, 15 off, 1:45 on, hour off, 2 hours on, 15 off, 1:45 on, leave. This felt pretty good for me, but everyone is different, and I don't know what your company's culture is around that. Your coworkers have that work-break ratio locked down because their brain has a timer built in that helps them out, we have no such luxury!

Another recommendation I have, though this would depend on your job setting, would be to take a break in a different area from where you work. This will help your brain associate work zone = work time, break zone = break time, which might help with transitioning from one to another.

As for small activities, it again depends on your company. I hear a lot of companies encourage fiddling with stuff like legos, or play dough, or kinetic sand or whatever in your work area, but I've had bosses that would just assume I do that all day instead of work. For inconspicuous, maybe a fidget toy? I really like these, and I hear great things about these.

Good luck to you! I am not perfect at this (he says as he reddits while he works) but hopefully you get some use out of what I said :)

29/M here. I haven't been on here in over a year, but I felt it was best for me to speak up and tell you to not give up on College. Find out methods that can help you pay attention during your study time. Go to your college's disability accommodation department and get them acknowledge your ADHD and help you. And what you have to realize is that you most likely need some counseling to help you cope better, along with healthy doses of self care. Personally, It has taken me about six years of CBT therapy and many EMDR sessions to remove the past traumas that can hold ADHD'ers back. I just recently felt confident enough to want to go ahead and complete my Associate's Degree. I enrolled at my local community college in August of 2008. I will most likely be graduating Winter of 2020. 12 years if you're counting for an Associates. It doesn't matter if you get W's or F's etc or you have to go to remedial courses like me. When we walk across that stage and get our degrees, it will be worth it. Only 5% of ADHD'ers get their degree. Make history. We all can do it.

TDLR. Get accommodations and study tools to help with your brain wiring. Consider CBT therapy, especially EMDR. I personally have been trying to pursue an associates degree for 12 yrs. It doesn't matter if you get W's or F's, the neurotypicals use stuff like this to discourage people from finishing, as long as you pass in the long term, you pass. It doesn't show W's and F's on your actual printed degree. Get your degree and make history since only 5% of us
graduate.


BTW, I heard from my therapist who works with a lot of kids, that using "Transparent Color Film Plastic Sheets" over your textbooks can help with the problem of following the text and concentration. https://www.amazon.com/Dyslexia-Reading-Overlay-Recommended-Dyslexic/dp/B077QQ226D/ref=pd_cp_201_1?pd_rd_w=AMtyg&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=KX5NHAWW3X16XRN7WNTT&pd_rd_r=cbb37fbd-9e0e-11e9-92c9-7b5b72fd778d&pd_rd_wg=bog4U&pd_rd_i=B077QQ226D&psc=1&refRID=KX5NHAWW3X16XRN7WNTT

Speech bin cookie game, this looks really fun! Not sure if you have it yet but I didn't see it in your list.

When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act like a prism and form a rainbow. THIS SENTENCE CONTAINS EVERY SOUND IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. :)

I've had years working with speech therapists with my daughter who has down syndrome. She has progressed quite nicely. Sometimes we forget that others aren't used to her speech patterns as my family can understand her so well. At school they've used pec cards in the past for her communication needs. I know that starting as early as possible is very important. Liz worked with a wonderful woman for years before she even began pre school and it made a huge difference for her. Sometimes when she gets frustrated with us not understanding her she acts out what she means until we get it. Her siblings are the best at translating for her usually. It's bright them closer I believe. Ok wall of text over, I could chat about it for hours :) Ty for everything you do!!!! <3

u/skittles_rainbows Β· 3 pointsr/Teachers

So consequences aren't working. You need to do the opposite. Reward for good behavior. Start with a token board. That's an example. If you want to give it a try, I can make a custom one for you. He needs to earn things by good behavior. Taking things away isn't working. Talk to mom. What is his favorite cereal? If he likes fruit loops, if people during group time are doing what they're told, make a big production of rewarding them. "OH BILLY, you're doing such A GREAT JOB at SITTING. Have a FRUIT LOOP." Keep doing it. It will also help with the others too.

For a token board, you need to come up with rewards he'll work for. I would go for edibles because you are alone. I can give you more details if you want to go forward with this.

You need a system that is low maintenance, something you can do on the fly, something that is automatic, and something that can be reinforcing to everyone.

What is your whole class behavior plan? Is it working with the other students?

Also, stop giving him a chair at group time. Make a box out of duct tape on the carpet (it comes off the carpet easier than masking tape). That's his magic box. He can earn chair privileges when he learns how to behave. He may also have a hard time sitting still during group time. He may need a fidget. I know that is a bad word in education. I give this thing to some of my students. I would also get a wobble cushion for group and possibly his chair. (That one is good because its 13" and it doesn't have the real aggressive knobby things on it that some kids don't like.) He can't use it unless he's in his magic box. At group, put his chair in a magic box. I would look at getting him a kick band for his chair. (Pro tip, call some local physical therapy clinics and see if they will donate 2 feet of non-latex theraband.)



You sometimes need multiple approaches.

u/Accelephant Β· 2 pointsr/Handwriting

Hey! I'm not sure if this would be of any help to you, but they make special pencil grips for people who aren't used to holding a pencil correctly. You should check them out:

http://www.amazon.ca/The-Pencil-Grip-Crossover-TPG-17706/dp/B001SN8HPI

http://www.writingclaw.com/

Having one of these on your pencil at all time for a while should help. Otherwise, it really just comes down to making a conscious effort to correct how you write. The way we hold pencils is pretty automatic in that we do it without much thought. You have to put that thought into it in order to change it. Good luck!! :)

u/whenifeellikeit Β· 3 pointsr/ADHD

My son has several. He's only 7, but he's a mouth fidgeter. (I'm more of a hand fidgeter, so I have doodle stuff and worry stones.) Anyway, the pencil toppers and stim necklaces are his favorites. He's got a little necklace that's a black silicone bat, and he can hide it under his shirt until he needs to chew. These pencil toppers also have little hand fidgets for both types of fidgeting. They're awesome. Dude, use what you need to make your life work! There are SO many tools available to us now! What a time to be alive!

u/Luthvian Β· 1 pointr/Coffee

I don't know if this would be feasible for you, shipping-wise, but getting him something like this set of foam grips might help him grip objects like utensils or writing implements in his injured hand.

Also, I second the Kuerig/equivalent with aftermarket cups. I'm not sure offhand if other brewers have those cups, though, since they tend to have a different pouch/pod design that might not be as conducive.

u/Oppiken Β· 3 pointsr/needadvice

These look dumb but I used one of these growing up to improve my writing. It forces you to learn how to hold a pen/pencil properly to get the cleanest writing.

After that, it's just time spent on practicing and developing the muscles in your hand so it doesn't get sore after writing half a page.

u/mundanesnowflake Β· 21 pointsr/JUSTNOMIL

I have a weighted anxiety blanket, and it is THE SHIT. I'm going to get a full blanket sized one soon, but I got a cheap little square one on Amazon for around $40. I'll link it later, on mobile ATM. This is the one I have!

I HIGHLY recommend them. :D

u/mogwife Β· 2 pointsr/autism

My daughter has some oral sensory needs as well - she started out with those vibrating popsicle sticks they use in OT and Speech. Since you are a little older, why not try a chewing necklace that doesn’t β€œlook” like a chewing necklace. They have so many different ones these days.. Something like this or these.

If I can find the β€œpopsicle stick” looking one, I can post that for you too.

Also wanted to add that they make a clear β€œnail polish” specifically for nail biters that tastes awful. Another idea is the therapeutic pencil covers like this that can help while in school.

u/emilinem Β· 1 pointr/ADHD

Great, hope it works for you! This is what I have https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XKD9WCK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BApQCbEWPD52X

u/Smurfypixie Β· 2 pointsr/Handwriting

My son has issues with holding his pencil properly as well. There are these things called pencil grips - there are ones that look like butterfly wings or dolphin fins. I have seen them on amazon. They have a hole to push the pencil in and you just tuck your fingers into the grip and write. It has helped my son immensely with his grip. It helps with the tripod grip. Here's a link - https://www.amazon.com/Pencil-Grip-Crossover-Ergonomic-TPG-17706/dp/B004Y4HA4W/ref=pd_sim_229_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B001SN8HPI&pd_rd_r=G2YEP06S09TMXNW051ZK&pd_rd_w=yhqtb&pd_rd_wg=XnhZp&refRID=G2YEP06S09TMXNW051ZK&th=1

u/heyyitsfranklin Β· 0 pointsr/BipolarReddit

I have actually discovered this fidget toy on Amazon( ADHD, Stress & Anxiety Fidget - the Noah by Fidgetland https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5BDISN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_SuY6Bb6W64WY8 ), and have found it to be helpful. It’s pretty quiet and small, and I’ll have it on me a lot of my waking time. If I’m feeling restless or anxious I’ll use it e.g. anything that involves periods of time waiting, completing projects, etc.

It helps me to really focus on the movement and feel of the β€œtoy” while playing around with it, and keeps my mind at ease (or more so than before) As a plus it has helped ameliorate my bad nail biting habit.

It’s different for everyone, good luck!!

I’m on mobile so sorry for weird formatting.

I agree, it looks like one of these things that may have had all the air squeezed out of it.

Your kid will grow up into a world of typing most things by the 5th grade. It's not a bad thing, i've been in the same situation since kindergarten. I would say improve by getting college ruled paper and teaching him about spacing his letters and basically have him write out the alphabet and coach him on correctly placing the characters on the line to improve neatness. My first grade teacher gave me one of these and it improved me
a bit http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FQQRRIQ/ref=pd_aw_sims_1?pi=SS115

My Grandfather has awful adhd and doesn't really write at all. My dad has really bad adhd and writes basically sideways, he happened to be a silicon valley business man so typing devices have been available to him his whole life. I also have adhd as well. At a young age i found a special interest in computers because i could type faster than other students and it was rewarding because with my handwriting, keyboards were essential. Here I am a senior in high school who has worse handwriting than a 4th grader. I was given a packet to fill out to present to my schools college counselor for a meeting regarding letters of recommendation for private colleges. I tried my hardest and wrote about one character per a second (probably slower) and still handed in a messy document. If it becomes a problem never give up because some that would not be fun to run into the same problems as i do.

u/skaye17 Β· 1 pointr/bulletjournal

I am not a lefty, but my teacher mom says that 3 sided grips for writing utensils helps those learning to write for the first time. Also you can find triangular pencils and crayons! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FQQRRIQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_TSliDbHYTHFWV

u/evilkittie Β· 3 pointsr/MakeupAddiction

For the eyeliners, or even smaller brushss, have you tried those blocky pencil grips? They're pretty angular and you can put more than one on if you need more grip space. I don't know how difficult they would be to put on initially, though.

Edit: Revlon also has a new-ish mascara line in a bottle similar to the Revolution lip glosses. Here's a random blog post I found going over the formulas.

u/Hasten_there_forward Β· 2 pointsr/aspergers

This one is great for at home where no one sees. I like the nubs on my back fine behind my molars.

https://funandfunction.com/super-chews-red.html

These are okay, their heads came off in a couple days but you can still use then.

u/BrownFedora Β· 15 pointsr/DIY

For people with genuine ADHD diagnosis, fidget items are proven to increase attention, focus, and information retention. My wife works at a mental health clinic and will give these cheapo ones to children to help them focus or deal with anxiety.

u/faradaysdream Β· 2 pointsr/ADHD

There’s already a product that does that. ...but an app for Apple Watch wearers is better than buying a second band.

u/grievoustomcat6 Β· 1 pointr/ADHD

When I was a kid, my school handed out these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fidget-Pencil-Toppers-Nutsn-Colors/dp/B008A5P7BY and they were great!!!
They are unfortunately a bit noisy to use in meetings as an adult.

  1. I had one of these to help me write properly.
u/HarlowMonroe Β· 5 pointsr/Handwriting

Try using a guide. It will suck at first but you can retrain your grip and eventually not need it.
