A form of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder that only pertains to online chatting. Very frustrating for the person on the other end who is waiting for your reply while you are playing with your cat, answering the door, or just plain spacing off. Seriously, if I stop what I am doing and walk over to chat with you had best pay attention. &*%$!!!
You have Chat ADHD if you leave people hanging waiting for a reply after you initiated the session.

Media ADHD A term to describe the interaction with simultaneous media exhibited by several consumer groups most notably the iGeneration and Working Mom’s who are often consuming and interacting with 6+ media simultaneously. Interactions simultaneously cross media and life elements, personal to business, entertainment to life maintenance, friends to co-workers, clients . A mobile device is for texting not talking, e-mail is to slow, voice mail should be full or never set up.
"I agree why talk when you can text, we have media ADHD talking takes soooooo long"

A strong urge to switch the channel during a commercial but to forget to switch back until the original program is already underway.
"My husband just switched the channel again when the commercial started but when I asked him to switch it back, my show already started and I missed 5 minutes!"
"He has ADHD-TV, you should have him go see a doctor."

When one switches from one subject to another then back to the original within a short amount of time.
Or when one starts typing on sentence then in the middle of said sentence types something completely different and finishes off with what was originally meant.
I like how on urban dictionary people try to sound insanely smart... holy fuck I can hear a tornado outside (talk about adhd typing.....) by typing terms like "an expression used", "when one" or some other bullshit you would find in an actual dictionary

Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder.
Yes, an actual disorder. There are several variations and it is often waved off as a "rumor made to sell Ritalin" by the ignorant, arrogant, or some frustratingly ludicrous combination thereof. As a teenage girl with a fairly severe case of this myself, I can honestly tell you that this is a real disorder with real consequences and real problems that have to do with brain activity.
Also, Ritalin is *not* the solution to everything, and from me that's saying something, since it did do a lot for me. However, Ritalin without family counseling, general tutoring and effort from all sides essentially does nothing. Besides, there's some bad side-effects as well; hell, the meds I'm on right now do wonders for my concentration but have made me twenty-two pounds underweight, as an example.
Girl's ADD is also different than Boy's ADD. Girl's ADD often goes unnoticed because of societal gender differences in early childhood. We're not as jumpy or wild physically, so people think we're just shy or typical daydreamers or even typical girls being girls. However, there really are myriad cases of girl's ADD which are undiagnosed.
Adult ADD is also not a myth. An overwhelming majority of people who "grew out" of ADD were really just misdiagnosed; it can be confusing, as ADD often accompanies LD's and other neurological/physiological/psychological disorders. Therefore, most Adult ADD is present, because a lot of people from the 70's and earlier were never diagnosed. ALternatively, it is part of America's insulting trend to blame everything on it.
In short, this is dispell rumors that ADD isn't real, and also to please request that those who are not knowledgeable AND those who don't have anything at all and are just bullshitting to get out of something respect those of us who do have ADD. America's generalizing has made a lot of us uneasy about our futures now that everything bad is wrongly blamed on it.
Furthermore, only 16% (!!) of the population actually has ADD, and some sources even say 6%.
So shut your ignorant mouths about us. Let us do the talking.
