@panickyintheuk at its core, ADHD is not a disorder of attention - that's just the most obvious external symptom. it's actually a lack of executive dysfunction - the brain is unable to self-regulate due to a lack of chemical resources. lack of dopamine means the brain is forced to compensate by doing things that will provide more in the short term - generally by avoiding things that are difficult or boring, but necessary to function properly. 'allergy to boredom'.
