Having ADHD is like being put into a dark room with things scattered around to trip you. You don't get a flashlight.....but everyone else does. You trip around the room, bumping into things, until you finally learn the layout of the room. Then someone moves you to a new room, and the process starts again.
It's like having a whirlwind in your mind. Everything seems to be blowing around and nothing stays put. Some people have compared the feeling to watching someone change the channels on the TV every few seconds. You can get a general idea of what is going on, but you miss most of the content.
People with ADHD tend to be socially blind. They may miss rules and structures which other people see much more readily.
