I struggle with conversation keeping. I'll jump from topic to topic and off topic then come back to the first topic. People get upset at me for getting off topic. :) But I shine through :)

The best way to describe ADHD is by the time you act on a thought, you are already thinking and starting the next thought. Its like you are a step ahead of yourself, and it easily becomes overwhelming.

In my experience, I am not able to focus as easily as others can. I tend to often feel not focused and not completely in reality? Almost a dissociative state.

Paying attention is the obvious one, but it's much more than being the rowdy kid who makes noise. It could also mean staring at a simple math worksheet for 3 hours without doing anything, or missing social cues when people are talking. Many children with ADHD have social difficulties and delayed motor functioning skills, speech skills, and language skills. I, for one, have had all.

People with ADHD have trouble with Hyperactivity. In addition, these people have trouble with Sitting still. Also, they have trouble with Focusing. Consequently, they have trouble with Concentrating. Also, they have problems with Fidgeting. They lose things easily. They have problems remembering things. They may struggle with peer relations. They may struggle with order and organization. There are three different types: inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, and combined. They may have trouble with impulsive control. They may struggle with waiting in line, waiting to speak, and sharing. They may blurt out answers, interrupt, or tap their fingers or toes. They may wander.

Often, people with ADHD spend more time studying than others, but come away with lower test scores than others. It can feel disheartening and confusing and serve as a demotivation to study. If you are in school, advocate for accommodations which will help you thrive. Perhaps your teacher will let you take a test orally or give you more time to take a test than others. If you aren't successful in getting this sort of accommodation, consider requesting to be tested for learning disabilities and ADHD. If you qualify, you will be able to work with the Resource staff to develop and implement accommodations for all of your assignments and tests. These accommodations will increase the chances that you will experience school success more equivalent to the effort you put in. They will also help you in better understanding how best you learn.

I think the biggest struggle for anyone with ADHD is keeping focus, it could be in school in work or at home! little things such as doing homework, tidying there rooms, even just watching a movie, I personally don't have the attention spam others may have especially in school and as soon as someone points it out I would loose the head I have learned to control this. fidgeting is a big some would call issue but I say way of dealing with it, it helps people stay focused and on task rather than sitting there day dreaming, if anyone would like to talk about ADHD drop me a message : )

A lot, unfortunately. It can be very challenging to live with ADHD and learning to work with the struggles and how to manage them is a necessary life skill. Things like low self-esteem, poor grades or struggling in school, difficulty getting into college or getting a job.
Anxiety, depression or other mental health issues, time-management challenges.
Difficulty managing money, disorganization, difficulty sitting still, focusing- either trouble concentrating or hyper focusing are just a few. There are things apparent as children that people struggle with but becomes easier as they grow older. Some challenges stay forever, or appear as responsibilities grow. Hope this helps
I can’t seem to ever concentrate. My friend says Adderall helps him concentrate. How do I find out if it’s a good option for me?
