Introduction
A friend of mine suggested that I write this book to not just help myself, but to help others who also have Attention Deficit Attention Disorder or simply ADHD. It is also known as Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD. There really is no distinction between the two terms anymore. I think many tend to get confused by the two without realizing they are the one and the same. I tend to think of it as a physical brain illness rather than mental. It makes more sense when you realize that it a physical problem that can’t be change just by snapping one’s fingers.
The Attention Deficit Disorder Association or ADDA defines the ADHD as a highly genetic, brain-based syndrome that has to do with the regulation of a particular set of brain functions and related behaviors. They are known as ‘executive functioning skills’ and include important functions such as attention, concentration, memory, motivation and effort, learning from mistakes, impulsivity, hyperactivity, organization, and social skills. There are various contributing factors that play a role in these challenges including chemical and structural differences in the brain as well as genetics.
(1)
ADDitude magazine defines the disorder as, a neurological disorder that impacts the parts of the brain that help us plan, focus on, and execute tasks. ADHD symptoms vary by sub-type — inattentive, hyperactive, or combined — and are often more difficult to diagnose in girls and adults.

ADHD comes in different varieties. It’s not just one way that we all experience it. ADDitude magazine goes on with their definition to define the three subtypes. People with hyperactive-impulsive subtype of ADHD act ‘as if driven by a motor’ with little impulse control — moving, squirming, and talking at even the most inappropriate times. They are impulsive, impatient, and interrupt others. People with the inattentive subtype of ADHD are easily distracted and forgetful. They may be daydreamers who lose track of homework, cell phones, and conversations with regularity. Individuals with combined-type ADHD display a mixture of all the symptoms outlined in the other two types.

In my case, I don’t usually have trouble focusing on anything. It’s more that I hyperfocus to the point that I can become oblivious to everything around me. That is not good when I need to pay attention to other things around me. Like when the cat is hungry and there’s no food out for her. Or I’ll be around other humans and I’m in their way. Those are times when I’m grateful that someone said something to ask me to move.
It’s not something that is completely and purely a disability. Sometimes it is and those times aren’t pleasant. But there are good effective ways to deal with it so it’s not so bad and those times can become less frequent over time. It’s usually when dealing with the mundane that the trouble starts. I have had to learn different ways of coping when those times come. At other times it’s more of a superpower. Other people don’t like it that people like me can do more work than they can. We’re faster and our quality can be just as good as the quantity. They are people who can’t keep up and they hate us for it. We could make them look bad without even trying or being cocky. But those people still might think we’re being cocky even when we’re not. Or even we’re bratty or snotty when it’s probably them with their bad attitude and prejudice. Simply, they are hurling at us all because they can’t understand how we could be so different from them.
Having ADHD is much like being the Flash who can run incredibly fast. As he runs, you can see the electricity around him. Yet, he tends to be klutzy and trips over his own feet at times. At other times, he’s confused in social situations and isn’t always sure how he needs to act. Others can also react badly to him because they can’t understand why he doesn’t have the same social skills and assumptions they have. Eventually, he does grow and learns how to not be so klutzy and improves his social skills. Or at least that’s how I see the way Ezra Miller portrays the Flash. I do understand how the Flash feels when he runs and in social situations when he feels and acts so awkward. It’s very clear when he talks to Bruce Wayne about not understanding what bunch is. Or challenging Superman to a race. Or when he is with other super heroes talking to Gordon only to disappear when Gordon turns around to face them. The Flash says it’s rude and then runs off too. He does try to work with others even if they don’t always respond to him as well as he would hope. I do know how that feels. It’s happened to me all too much.
I’m not an athlete. I never was that great at sports. I’m rather quiet and don’t always talk to others even when I’m around them all the time. I’m a terrible maid. It tends to get boring when the cleaning goes on too long and I never could do a fabulous job. When I can’t clean in the simplified way I learned myself, the house tends to look worse over time. It makes me not want to clean when I can’t do a good job at it. To make it worse, I usually get charged for cleaning whenever I move out of an apartment I’ve rented. And that was after I had clean the place with cleaners and scrubbing and get my stuff out. My superpower is that I can read and write in hyperspace. My reading and writing skills are on a good level at this point of my life from all
