I'd say getting rid of deadlines, although idk how id get anything done if not for the absolute dread of missing one. I'd definetly make it so there was less paperwork to fill out, that kind of stuff is painful to me

    1.) Establish communism

    No but in all seriousness, I have no idea. Not penalizing lack of tidiness and neatness in school would be a good start. I can't even begin to tell how many assignments I was docked points on in like elementary and middle school for "not putting in effort" when in all reality I just couldn't make shit look nice.

    Also include better mental health services because children with ADHD receive 20,000 more negative messages – from parents, peers, or otherwise, by the age of 10 and generally have much worse self esteems because of it (I know I did)

    Also it's not really ADHD but it's commonly comorbid with ADHD so I'm gonna put it: accommodate for Delayed sleep phase disorder. I was royally fucked over by school times, it's a schedule I've learned I cannot work on. It also sucks now that I'm an adult and everything is tailored to those with regular sleep schedules when nothing knocks me out before at least 1 AM and a garage light a foot away from my head doesn't wake me up. At this point I'm considering living on the east coast and working remote on the west coast when I get out of college.

    I'd also say better education on what ADHD is for neurotypicals. It's such BS that it's the hyper young boy disorder, when that's kinda not really it. It's hell, there's a laundry list of laundry lists of things that it affects and causes and is detrimental to you

    and finally get people to stop thinking we're lazy or that ADHD doesn't exist or that Adderall is meth and we're all just druggies
