"Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological brain disorder that manifests as a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity that is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. ADHD begins in childhood, and as has only recently been understood, can persist into adulthood as well. While some children outgrow ADHD, about 60% continue to have symptoms into adulthood. The disorder manifests differently in adults as hyperactivity tends to diminish." (www.adhd.com, 2007)
I really hope this information debunks the mythical "definitions" of ADHD, aka Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, out there. This information is reliable, fact-based, and referenced. Degrading self-righteous opinions and narrow-minded assumptions are not included in this text.

It is believed that ADHD is a highly genetic disorder. Approximately 35 percent of parents of children with ADHD have the disorder themselves. It's also not uncommon to discover that other people in the family (siblings, aunts, and/or uncles) also have ADHD. Interestingly, many parents only come to learn about their own ADHD once their child has been diagnosed. This may explain a lifetime of frustrations and prompt them to get help. (www.adhd.com, 2007)

A term used in describing someone as having a nonexistent attention span.
Bubba Joe: So then I licked Sarah's pussy clean while Jane ate my asshole. And while all of this was going on, Mary Ann rode my rock hard cock like a nympho on steroids. But that's not it, cuz I also had Gina rubbing her titties on my body while I grabbed Rhonda and Taylor's breasts. Plus, the dozen other girls were masturbating and having multi-orgasms until the break of dawn.
Jacky Keith: Did you say something? I was listening to Easy Street.
Bubba Joe: You pathetic fuck. You have the attention span of an anti-sex addict on Pornhub.

Normally used by teachers to cover up when they make an idiotic mistake. By saying "Just trying to see if you were paying attention" teachers can make it seem like they meant to make their dumb mistake, when really they're just stupid...
Teacher: "On the test, we had over 5 FLAIRURES"
Student: "Don't you mean failures?"
Teacher: "NO, i was just trying to see if you were paying attention"
Student: "ah, of course"

Someone either bot liked at all, or someone very popular most likely told you this. What they're talking about is cutting themselves across the wrist horizontally will get attention, while not killing you, and vertically will actually hurt you badly.
Random person, "Left and right for attention, up and down for results."
You, "Huh?"
