CREATING ADHD HELL.
Little things instructors do that can really exacerbate ADHD symptoms.

1) Have directions in multiple places. 2) Set random deadlines. 3) Be inconsistent about reminders and communications. 4) Insist on neurotypical standards of focus. 5) Use multipart questions. 6) Talk for extended periods of time without breaks. 7)Test specifically for attention. 8) Have unspoken or unwritten expectations. 9) Use single, large assignments with no structure. 10) Sneak in important instructions, deadlines, or points.
