'It’s almost unbearable how much trouble I got into as a kid. I probably looked like a troublemaker, but really I was a confused, frustrated adopted kid trying with all his might to contend with ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder.' BeckettHaight
in first grade and was on all types of drugs like Wellbutrin and Dexedrine and others I don’t remember, I never seemed to find the right meds. Maybe if I had, I wouldn’t have found myself constantly in trouble.I entered middle school with ADHD, a chip on my shoulder, a burgeoning ability to commit crimes, and no special-education support to speak of.grade before landing in juvenile detention for the first time. Soon after the second time, I did something that got me expelled from school.
I have found that my honesty and my story touches a lot of students. So much so that a few weeks ago I was sitting with a student doing some content support after school when he looked up at me and said, “Mr. Beckett, I have something I want to tell you; something only my parents know.” He went on to tell me that he has ADHD and takes meds. He said that he told me because he knows I have it, too, and I would understand.
Without those accommodations and scaffolds, many a student with ADHD gets lost. It’s our job to help mitigate this, and teach strategies for staying focused. Graduating from college and then later becoming a teacher were two of the greatest moments of my life, in large part because I felt I was paying my mom back for all the stress I caused her.
