We live in a technology filled fast paced world filled with distraction. Our attention span is often reduced to a couple of minutes even if we don't have ADHD.
Non-ADHD people are aware they are distracted and are able to re-focus themselves. Those with ADHD are often not aware that they have been distracted.
Much of our distraction is in our thoughts and we get so wrapped up in the movies we are making in our heads, it becomes very difficult to come back to earth.
ADHD is complicated and contradictory. You may or may not have hyperactivity or only be hyperactive at certain times.
We each experience ADHD in different ways depending on our backgrounds, the severity of our ADHD, and the various co-occurring conditions which may or may not be present.
Our Book, Audacious ADHD, is easy to read, dispelling the myths and giving the facts – no jargon – a book written by ADDers for those who have ADHD or work or live alongside them.
