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!
