Your principal is probably just not interested at this point. Which is too bad because statistically, about one out of twenty five of his students and teachers have ADD.
I suggest that you make a list of the specific issues you struggle with and what you would like in the way of accommodations. He’s probably feels he is too busy and coming up with succinct bottom line requests may help get the results you seek.
Russell Barkley has some good no nonsense videos on you tube. There are several of over an hour and a bunch of short clips over specific aspects of ADHD. You might view these and send him links to those which address the issues you’re having. Hopefully after you get him to this point, he may get more interested in ADHD and want to view the full length video or even read one of the books.
I don’t know how it is in your school, but where I went the kids with ADD were always being sent to the principal’s office. Can I get a witness? Learning a bit about the condition is really in his own best interest and will help him in dealing with these kids.
