Yup, and a tendency to be hyperactive. I really am a perfect example of it. I can't sit still, I fidget endlessly, and I simply cannot focus or concentrate on anything. But it's not made me some out of control idiot 🙄
Just goes to show you that people don't really KNOW what ADHD means.
"You have ADHD? Oh. You're insane."
Regarding "Kids today"
Emiel Eyben, Restless Youth in Ancient Rome, writes:[The 4th-C. sophist Libanius] described the unmannerly behaviour of his pupils during a solemn lecture, a presentation to which a wider audience was admitted. He had ordered a slave to call the students in. They hardly budged, continuing to chat, laugh and sing the top hits of the day. Finally, they condescended to enter the hall, yet their lackadaisical attitude roused the ire of those already present and made them resentful. Finally the lecture could begin. The students, however, were winking at one another, were talking about this, that and the other, about charioteers, mimes, horses, pantomimes, and fights among students. Some students lolled about like statues, arms folded, while others picked their noses with both hands at once, remained utterly unmoved while everyone applauded, forced enthusiastic members of the audience to fit down. Their behaviour could be even more disgraceful: they clapped at unsuitable moments, prevented others from applauding, strutted ostentatiously through the lecture-theatre and tried to lure as many people as possible out of the hall by concocting false messages or by spreading round invitations to the baths.

With parents like that, that kid would have left in a few years anyway, willingly.
