Living with ADHD / "The Fun Version of Life"
First, let’s clear something up. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are considered to be the same diagnosis. Doctors decided to combine the terms in 1994 and stick to the one name, ADHD. According to Kelli Miller in her WWW.WebMD.com article, ADHD can be seen through 3 main signs:
- Inattention: Includes disorganization, problems staying on task, constant daydreaming, and not paying attention when spoken to directly.
- Impulsivity: Includes spur-of-the-moment decisions without thinking about the chance of harm or long-term effects. They act quickly to get an immediate reward. They may regularly interrupt teachers, friends, and family.
Hyperactivity: Involves squirming, fidgeting, tapping, talking, and constant movement, especially in situations where it's not appropriate.
What are some symptoms?
- Disorganization
- Lack of focus
- Impulsivity
- Poor time management
- Procrastination

What is ADHD Coaching?
ADHD coaching has two main componets.
