Attention is Not a Deficit but a Dilemma
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) should not be viewed merely as an inability to pay attention; instead, it reflects a lack of voluntary control over one’s attention. Individuals with ADHD often find themselves easily distracted by external stimuli, making it challenging to maintain focus in structured environments, such as classrooms. This leads to difficulties in long-term planning and organized thought processes. Conversely, those with ADHD can experience hyperfocus, becoming intensely engaged in activities they find interesting, such as hobbies or video games, to the point of losing track of time and neglecting basic needs. Despite its common occurrence, hyperfocus is not listed as a diagnostic criterion, illustrating the complexities of attention management in ADHD.
