I looked at the research on this and a new one, it’s suspected to be higher, although people with adhd are more likely to drop out or take a lighter workload (they mentioned this could be because of advice from the school)

Don’t let a statistic dictate what you can do though, from personal experience you can’t let it become an internal narrative and a self-fulfilling prophecy

This is true because you also have to think about the environmental factors that come with this statistic considering its genetic. If a family with adhd has no college graduates, their kids are less likely to go as well. Its not that 5% that go to college graduate, its just 5% in general (if this stat is true)

This is how I felt when I saw it too!! I’m worried I’m gonna have to take an extra year, but everyone works at their own pace. We’re allowed to give ourselves grace because our struggles and execution function set backs make us take a different path than other and it’s okay if it looks different because it is different
