The Role of Attention Deficits in ADHD

Body focus behaviors are very sensory in nature which definitely people with ADHD are very drawn and find very very appealing. It can be stress relief, it can be an escape from executive demands where someone almost kind of gets into a trance because they're feeling very overwhelmed by a lot of executive stress. People with ADD will often say that they feel this sort of sense of a goal orientation. So if it's a hair that seems very straggly and they pull it like they feel like they've accomplished something.
