How exactly does it effect you? I supposedly have it, but they think it maybe because of me being Bi-polar. I do have some difficulty learning, but I can still manage, seeing as I was a A and B student without having to study or anything. So can someone please explain it for me?

ADHD is when you're hyper and you have trouble paying attention to things

Ok, I can see the concentration thing, but I am not that hyper unless I am in Mania.

Wrong, ADHD people do not need attention, that's a common misconseption. The name is a reference to how people with ADHD have trouble PAYING attention to one thing at once.

It can mean a variety of things.

You could be hyperactive, and have trouble focusing your attention.

Or you could just have one or the other.

You may also over focus on one thing... which then causes you to switch off from everything else....

For example..... you could be so focused on the object that you are figiting with.... that you are not paying attention to the person who is trying to explain something to you.

You may also have problems controling your temper.... and it may only take very minor things to trigger the anger off.

Uhm . I have ADHD, well less so now, but when I was younger, I constantly needed attention, because I was bored and would become out of control. So in a way, we do need attention -_-

Maybe you did, but that's not a normal symptom. Not everything that you expirienced is part of ADHD just because you had it.
