ADHD Facts

Some things I have learned about ADHD:

1. ADHD people overall are more likely to get injured, for several reasons. Difficulty connecting past actions/outcomes with future actions/outcomes. Inattentiveness. Actual issues with gross motor control and balance. Also the tendency to exist in somewhat chaotic environment. 
2. ADHD people tend to have poor working memory. Which if you’ve ever heard me talk about my own brain, is kind of wild bc I’ve specifically described myself before as not having a lot of RAM. One of the areas in which some ADHD people particularly struggle is visual-spatial working memory. It is not an issue of short-term memory, ie- the ability to hear and repeat information, but an issue with the ability to manipulate that information once we have it. My spatial reasoning is absolutely terrible. This suddenly makes sense.
