How do you think it compares to those who don\u2019t have ADD?<\/span><\/b><br \/>ADD makes me very fidgety. I\u2019m constantly tapping my foot or fiddling with a small object. Also, since one of the side effects is depression, I\u2019m generally very tired. But for the most part, I don\u2019t think my ADD makes me feel very different physically.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b><br \/>How do you feel about ADD?<\/b><\/span><br \/>In some ways, I guess I\u2019m kind of indifferent; like, it\u2019s just another part of my life. A lot of times, though, it can be very frustrating and I often wish I could be \u201cnormal.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">What challenges does ADD pose?<\/span><\/b><br \/>I have a very difficult time organizing my time and meeting deadlines, which makes school extra stressful. It\u2019s also easy for me to lose track of time, so I can easily get sucked into reading a good book or writing a story. As I mentioned, my ADD has some side effects, including depression and insomnia, which make general life functions hard. My brain also wanders a lot, so focusing on lectures or sitting through something that I don\u2019t find particularly interesting is tough.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b><br \/>Is there anything you like about being ADD?<\/b><\/span><br \/>It can be nice to not be able to focus. For instance, it\u2019s nearly impossible for me to dwell on something sad or unpleasant, because my brain gets distracted so quickly.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>Do you think your day differs from others because of being ADD?<\/b><\/span><br \/>Definitely. My day is built around a schedule, with times and lists and color-coding and reminders. While I\u2019m not exactly married to the schedule, my day gets scattered without it, and if I want to be at all productive, I need to stay on schedule.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Do you have any cultural differences between others who are also ADD and those who are not?<\/span><\/b><br \/>Not really, I guess just that my life is so schedule oriented. Without a plan, my life would quickly descend into chaos and I\u2019d never get anything done. So, though I\u2019m naturally a very flexible, go-with-the-flow kind of person, I\u2019ve had to learn to curve those impulses and stay on track.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>What are some stereotypes about ADD that irk you?<\/b><\/span><br \/>I think that a lot of people glom together ADD and ADHD, and while they share a lot of symptoms as far as focus goes, they\u2019re also very different. A person with ADD won\u2019t necessarily be super energetic or talkative, because we don\u2019t have the hyperactivity that comes with ADHD.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b><br \/>What media portrays ADD badly be it a movie, a book, or a TV show?<\/b><\/span><br \/>I haven\u2019t read or seen much that deals with ADD, but the one series that comes to mind is the Percy Jackson books. I know demigods technically have ADHD, but as far as the attention deficit part goes, I found these books rather unrealistic. The author only brings it up when it\u2019s convenient, when it helps a character or adds some humour. In reality, attention deficit affects pretty much every minute of your life, whether you like it or not.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>What media portrays ADD well be it a movie, a book, or a TV show?<\/b><\/span><br \/>Like I said, I haven\u2019t really read or seen anything that portrays ADD. Characters with ADHD are more common (I\u2019m not sure why), but I haven\u2019t read much beyond <i>Percy Jackson<\/i>.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Who are your top three favorite characters who also are ADD in books, movies, or shows?<\/span><\/b><br \/>I don\u2019t know if I can come up with three, but I\u2019d say that Leo Valdez and Annabeth Chase from the <i>Percy Jackson<\/i> books were best portrayed as having an attention deficit. The author did a better job of incorporating it regularly, and their over-all attitude felt a lot more ADD\/ADHD than other characters.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/percy-jackson-the-olympians-the-lightning-thief-51eccc77d7f06.jpg?resize=640%2C360\" width=\"640\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, &quot;Palatino Linotype&quot;, Palatino, serif; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Thank you again, Ari!
