Have you ever heard of adult attention deficit disorder? From what I've seen, many people haven't. This is not odd to say the least. Typically when folks ponder the concept of attention deficit disorder, they immediately think of children. Kids are the ones who generally lack the attention span. However, there are certainly adults among us that also harbor this burden. And yes I do call it a burden. This is basically due to the fact that it can be seriously bothersome and annoying.

What do you know about adult attention deficit disorder? Up until a few years ago, I had no idea that the affliction even existed. However, that all changed when I was at college getting my English degree. As it turned out, there was a student there who would enlighten me. So, it was the beginning of a new semester. I had signed up for all the necessary classes and all was well and good. When I entered my "Keats and Shelley" classroom, it seemed so peaceful and relaxing. I was stoked and ready to learn about these two famous writers. Suddenly, in walked a guy in his early twenties, short, with a big grin on his face. In no way did this fellow look shy or timid. He plopped down in the seat next to me. I thought nothing of it as I turned to him and introduced myself. He did the same. His name was Brian, and little did I know, he had adult attention deficit disorder. It was definitely going to be an interesting class, whether I was aware of it or not. After listening to the professor lecture for about 20 minutes, Brian began tapping his pen on the desk and bouncing his knee. At first I thought nothing of it, but it only grew louder. In fact, he was the loudest one in the classroom. Not the professor. Other students began to stare, but Brian continued. I placed my hand over his tapping pen to stifle the irksome sound. He grinned with a slight embarrassment, and then apologized. Then came the confirmation statement that he indeed had adult attention deficit disorder. Yikes!

Do you know someone with adult attention deficit disorder? You may and may not even be aware of it. If you would like to become more knowledgeable on adult attention deficit disorder, pull up your Google search engine and get the lowdown.
