His parents had high expectations of him, but he hadn't met his grades.
So he felt like he'd let people down.
Then he went, therefore, to a university that wasn't his first choice university, doing a degree that wasn't his first choice degree, which is very hard for an ADHD brain.
It's hard for anyone, but that's very hard for an ADHD brain.
So we developed a management plan for him.
We worked with the uni, explained what's going on here.
We even had one of our coaches explain how they might want to give feedback to him as well in a more sensitive way.
He had a one-to-one tutor.
He had some reasonable adjustments.
He had some extra time for his assignments.
We did give him medication as well to help with some task initiation.
A lot of the therapy is working around explaining to him that he has a brain that is not geared towards initiating tasks, especially tasks that he's not particularly passionate about, but also an over amplified nervous system that is very sensitive to the potential of rejection.
It's a work in progress.
He's no longer self-harming.
He doesn't have suicidal thoughts.
He's now working through his assignments, but the next piece of work for him will be
to try and develop emotional resilience when he goes into the workplace because this could really occur again.
That's a very strong example of how RSD can impact people in a very serious way.
It's an incredibly lonely experience.
When you have very strong RSD, it's like walking through an emotional minefield in your life.
