> Its unfortunate that the solution is often prescription medication rather than an education that better suits their learning modality.

Often the best solution is both. If I struggle to pay attention, am I really going to benefit from more lessons on how to work with myself? This is especially apparent with ADHD, since stimulant meds are not a cure-all. You still need to learn to cope with periods of time when you're not medicated (pregnancy, in the morning, before going to bed, on "medication vacations", etc). I'm sure for some it could just become an excuse, but that's not taking into account the internal frustration built up from not easily being able to "keep up with society". People take the trash out before it gets too full to close the bag? Do laundry before running out of shirts? Empty the dishwasher when it finishes?
