Things that help people with ADHD...

...that do no harm to neurotypical people:

- checklists
- fidget toys
- gamifying their lives with challenges and rewards
- having someone listen to them
- having someone enjoy their company
- having someone share their interests
- compassion during tough moments
- awareness of what constitutes a tough moment for them
- making the most of impulsivity
- putting things in the same place every time
- reminders, cues, and anchors/touchstones
- routines that support goals and good habits
- acceptance
- limiting criticism and correction
- opportunities for exercise
- therapy
- considering that a traditional classroom might not be a good fit for them
