When most people hear the letters ADHD (Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder), they think about kids who are bouncing off the wall or who are continually displaying impulsive behaviors. The image of an adult who struggles with focus doesn’t often enter their minds. ADHD symptoms in adulthood are often minimized, and the person is labeled as being disorganized, lazy, a procrastinator, or simply unmotivated.
