ADHD is not as simple as being distracted. Those who mock it are ill-informed idiots.

I have 20/20 vision. I don't think that people who wear glasses just aren't seeing hard enough. It's the same logic, just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it's not real...and serious.

There is a simple way to prove it. Most medical treatments for ADHD involve stimulants. A person with ADHD will react with focus and calm after taking them. For the layman, the stimulants target the part of brain that works on focus for those who have ADHD. A person without ADHD would be bouncing off the walls for hours.

I was warned when diagnosed that I would encounter people like that. I am amazed at the ignorance that still prevails.
