I have ADHD and I think it certainly is a learning disorder. I say this because it was only in adulthood that I was diagnosed and looking back on life it is the most solid explanation for my disruptive school life and why I have taught myself EVERYTHING as it has and always will be impossible to learn in a class/lecture. It's even worse when it's boring shit you don't care for.
I was very bright but my ADHD meant I would rush my work and then distract others. If I couldn't do that I would distract myself somehow i.e. daydreaming, on my phone etc. I would constantly be in trouble everyday, every week.
I wish it was pointed out earlier cause I think life would have been a bit different but oh well.
ADHD also affects your driving. The impulsivity makes it very very hard to make good judgements even when you're trying your absolute best.
Obviously it is detrimental to many other aspects of life but primarily this disorder makes learning extremely difficult. When comorbid with other disorders like conduct/antisocial = hellfire.
I dont think ADD/ADHD is a learning disorder?
