Inability To Focus Or Easily Distracted
Children may have trouble paying attention, even when someone is speaking directly to them. They may say they heard what was said, but won’t be able to repeat it back. Since ADHD is a problem with attention, it can make it hard for adults to succeed in today’s fast-paced environment, particularly at work. This distractibility can lead to people to perform poorly in their career, particularly in a noisy or busy workplace where focus is required for long periods of time as well as attention to detail. Those with ADHD may also find phone calls or emails derailing their attention, making it additionally hard to finish tasks.
