I face having ADHD is my mind racing feeling where I feel like I have to do everything at once or I feel like I have miniatures of myself setting off bombs in my head if I don't do everything at once.

People with ADHD have trouble focusing, finishing things on time and getting things done. They often need to do many things at a time as well.

It's good you seem to want to understand. That is definitely a great start. The biggest thing to know is that people with ADHD struggle with paying attention. Not that they don't want to or that they are not interested, it is almost impossible for people with ADHD to keep focused on that. It may take a few reminders or reengaging comments (nice ones) to help them stay on track. Sometimes you will hear that people with ADHD don't feel understood, this may be as that others who don't have ADHD don't have the patience to keep up with those who do have ADHD. For people who live with ADHD or know someone who does, PATIENCE is key.

They struggle with focusing closely on things. They can focus, but it may take a lot more effort than someone else.

From my experience we face a lot of fidgeting in place and wanting to talk freely all the time, my brain just has so many things it wants to say and a lot of people don't like that.
