Christopher was diagnosed with ADHD at an early age, thanks to his parents and teachers noticing symptoms during elementary school. He also attributes being in an immersion program with a high-performing academic culture as what helped to highlight what was going on for him and how he was different from other students.

 

Now an 18-year-old college student, Christopher shares his ADHD experience and what he’s doing to prepare for the next chapter in life – living on his own for the first time while attending school roughly 1600 miles away from home.
