7 Ways To Explain ADHD

What exactly is Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder? What does it feel like to have it? How does it appear to other people?

I've put those questions to countless ADHD specialists and to folks who have this disorder or suspect they might. My documentary, 'ADD & Loving It?!', was my first attempt to explain ADHD in a way that would have helped me understand before I was diagnosed.

The fact that this disorder is so individual and the human brain is so complex means that no single description can capture the range of people's experiences. I won't even try. Instead, here are seven explanations, analogies, or models that, taken together, give a good sense of why ADHD is such a frustrating, insidious challenge to overcome. Let me know if this helps you and the people in your life to understand what's going on.
