#1 Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is a neurological disorder that affects nearly 5 percent of the United States adult population. It is common among adults with ADHD, and they often struggle to regulate attention and impulses due to differences in the way their brains have developed and function.

#2 ADHD's wide variety of frustrating symptoms can hinder everything from relationships to careers. It is invisible and yet unmissable. Once you know what to look for, spotting an ADHD pattern in someone you know becomes clear and obvious.

#3 Those with ADHD often have a hard time paying attention to things that aren't inherently interesting or emotionally engaging. They have a hard time staying focused on tasks that are boring or monotonous.

#4 When we are extremely interested in something, we will unconsciously tune out any irrelevant thoughts and senses. This is known as hyperfocus. Some people become so engrossed in a project that it looks like they are completely unaware of anything else happening around them.
