“For twenty years, I thought I had a deficit of attention. I mean, it’s in the name of my diagnosis: attention deficit disorder. Brains need a full tank of attention to work properly, so I must be a few quarts low. Right?

Wrong. The reality is, we have plenty of attention. What we lack is the ability to regulate our attention. You know how lizards can’t internally regulate their body temperature? ADHD brains have difficulty regulating their focus (and emotions, and sleep, and…okay, yep, we’ll get to that later).“
