"So, there's three groupings of symptoms that are seen in adult ADHD that sort of summarize the three main areas of concern that are caused by this disorder. That's inattentiveness, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Inattentiveness refers to the tendency of those of us with ADHD to maybe gloss over fine details, to be in a conversation with somebody and tune out, when you don't mean to, bobbling events, losing important pieces of paper, getting timing wrong, showing up too early- too late for events. People with ADHD often have problems with work tardiness. Distractibility refers to our tendency to be easily taken away from the task we are engaged with. There's a common joke with ADHD, I don't have ADh, oh! look a penny, like, just sort of, any sort of bright shiny thing takes our focus away. Distractibilty can also be detrimental in personal relationships. Hyperactivity refers to any sort of disorder of motion, people with ADHD don't sit still well, their fidgety, they may feel the need to blurt out or be impulsive about speech, to jump around almost. People with ADHD will sometimes appear crazy, just by the way (crazy) "quote, unquote" by the way they have a need to move or fidget or walk about when everyone else around them is completely still."
