I have ADHD and I'd explain it like this: If I'm interested in something I pay a HUGE amount of attention to it and focus really well. But if it's something that I'm really not interested in and that I can't see the use of, it's REALLY hard for me to learn. I still have not passed the necessary Mathematics that requires to have a complete education since I can't wrap my head around equations! The thing with an "ADHD person" is that their nervous system works in a different way than most others and the society and education is shaped around "Normal nervous system" and this is what makes it so hard for people with ADHD. I'm forced to live in a world that is not suited for my brain, thus leading many people in my situation to believe that they are stupid.
I dont think ADD/ADHD is a learning disorder?
