I'm reading a lot of conflicting information about ADHD so I'm not really sure how to describe it. But I saw a statement that resonated with me. It lines up with a lot of the difficulties and frustrations in my life. I'm curious to see what others think about it.:

ADHD is not being able to start, and not being able to stop.

How well does it describe your experience?

For me starting is hard, super hard. Stopping is only hard because of time blindness.

However, much like with Autism, once you've met one person with ADHD, you've met one person with ADHD. The severity of symptoms can very greatly from person to person.
