Audience
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a highly genetic, brain-based syndrome that affects an individual’s ability to organize, plan, and manage thoughts and actions. They may have difficulty completing tasks or forget important things and may not consider the long-term consequences of their actions. Everyone’s traits, struggles and ability to cope are different. Some people with ADHD are hugely popular, the funniest, most interesting people in every room – even as they struggle to pay their bills or hold down a job. Other people can’t maintain relationships, but are great in emergencies, when the pressure and thrill of the moment seem to give them superhuman powers. People don’t have to be captive to their ADD/ADHD. As Canadian comedian Rick Green once said of himself: "I used to suffer from ADHD. And now I just have it."
