ADHD often affects sufferers' ability to finish simple thoughts. We get started on one idea and then...oooh shiny. Most frustrating.

People with ADHD are often considered lazy. In reality, it takes us a great deal of energy and focus just to organize the billions of careening information-stuffed bouncy balls inside our heads.

Although ADHD tends to be over-diagnosed, it is a legitimate mental condition. The condition can be treated/alleviated through dietary changes, meditation, and medication.

People with ADHD often miss an obvious answer or fail to follow instructions. It's not because we're stupid or lazy; merely because we have trouble maintaining focus.

ADHD sufferers are often very creative people with a wealth of amazing ideas...

...but, frustratingly, we can't always dig out the brilliance from the mountain of exciting concepts.

Don't take offense if someone with ADHD doesn't remember your name right away. We sometimes have to think about how old we are, what city we live in, and which direction is left versus right.
