Disproportionately few young adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are admitted to post-secondary education. If admitted, they are more likely to withdraw from classes or fail to graduate, relative to post-secondary education (PSE) students without ADHD. They are reported to have lower levels of academic self-efficacy, confidence, and competence levels, which ultimately affect their overall achievement and Mental Well-being. Recommended treatments for people with ADHD typically include medication, accommodations to their learning environment, cognitive behavioural therapy, and social supports. In this study, 96 PSE students attending undergraduate and graduate programs at a Canadian university completed surveys to gauge their Mental Well-being, to estimate their current achievement (GPA), and the extent of their ADHD symptoms. They also completed open-ended questions about their physical activity levels, leisure activities, social supports, and coping strategies. Of the 96 participants, 75 responded to the surveys after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. The results showed the effects of physical activity, social supports and coping strategies, and a negative correlation of self-reported symptomology, on the Mental Well-being and achievement scores of the participants. The responses of the majority of those who completed the survey during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown also demonstrated adaptations and coping strategies that were strength-based, and that indicated resilience and self-determination. The findings suggest that more emphasis should be placed on supporting the self-determination of this population.
