A popular misconception about ADHD - even if the affected person is a teen or an adult - is that they are hyperactive and run around like crazy.
They are anything but. ADHD has other severe, often invisible manifestations. The toll it takes can be overwhelming, even devastating.
ADHD can literally affect a person's sense of surrounding, of time, of occasion. It is not about hyperactivity as much as it is about *inactivity* when it comes to understanding (actually not understanding) time, the consequences of not meeting simple deadlines...
