So is that actually what ADHD is like? When I was a kid (middle school or so), I got diagnosed with ADD, and I’m still not certain I know the differences between the two.
I do however, know that I’ve frequently discribed my train of thought as multiple trains, on multiple tracks, all swapping places and directions at seemingly random intervals. I can’t ever follow just one train at at time (if any at all) to its destination.
ADD and ADHD are essentially the same thing apart from the hyperactivity . The H is for hyperactivity, which doesn’t always describe every person with ADD.
And at least in the US ADD is no longer a thing and hasn’t been for a while, having been subsumed into the ADHD diagnosis, which can be inattentive, hyperactive, or combined.
