Great 4 minute video of Dr. Russell Barkley (a very well known and well respected ADHD researcher) talking about ADD as a “performance” disorder. One salient quote, “…Person with this disorder cannot organize to the delayed future but only to imminent future.” I think this video is really worth your time. Hopefully, you can feel less alone and people in your life may have a better understanding.
