What is ADD...........??
Question: is it hard to concentrate on anything that's slightly tedious? or getting bored during movies really quickly? what goes on in ur mind w/ attention deficit disorder?
Answers: ADD is attention deficit disorder. It inhibits your ability to concentrate thus it can cause irritability. Many things at once can go on in your mind besides the thing(s) you are trying to pay attention too. It could be perceived you are not paying attention or lack on interest. A doctor can properly diagnose you and put you on the right medicine.

Attention Deficit Disorder
ADD is generally considered to be a developmental disorder, largely neurological in nature, affecting about 5% of the world's population. The disorder typically presents itself during childhood, and is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity, as well as forgetfulness, poor impulse control or impulsivity, and distractibility.
ADHD predominantly inattentive (ADHD-I or ADHD-PI) is one of the three subtypes of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). While ADHD-PI is commonly referred to as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) without hyperactivity, the terms ADD and attention-deficit disorder .
Basically you are inattentive. You don't pay attention
something that doesn't exist
it's a fake disease that is used as an excuse for inappropriate behavior
WHAT IS ADD OR ADHD?
You know these kids: the ones who can’t sit still, the ones who never seem to listen, who don’t follow instructions no matter how clearly you present them, who blurt out inappropriate comments at inappropriate times. There’s at least one in every classroom, and that one may be yours, because attention deficit disorder (ADD) affects people across the spectrum of race, class, gender, and age.
Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADD/ADHD) is a neurological condition that makes it difficult for people to inhibit their spontaneous responses—responses that can involve movement, speech, and attentiveness. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that between 3 and 5 percent of children in the United States have ADHD. This means that in a classroom of 25 to 30 children, at least one is likely to have ADHD.
TYPES OF ADD/ADHD
There are three subtypes of ADD/ADHD:
Predominantly inattentive
Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive
Combined: inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive
That means children with ADD/ADHD don’t all have the same problems. Some are hyperactive, while others sit quietly (with their attention miles away). Some put too much focus on a task and have trouble shifting it to something else. Others are only mildly inattentive but overly impulsive. Still others have significant problems in all three areas.
Signs and symptoms of ADD/ADHD in children
Now and again, every child is absent-minded, restless, or impulsive. These symptoms point to ADD/ADHD when they’re the rule and not the exception.
SYMPTOMS OF INATTENION
It isn’t that children with ADD/ADHD can’t pay attention: When they’re doing things they enjoy or hearing about topics in which they’re interested, they have no trouble focusing and staying on task. (The hard part may be pulling them away to the next activity.) But if a child with ADD isn’t viscerally engaged by an activity, the attention of that child will quickly seek out a different activity or something else to think about.
Some symptoms of the inattentive type of ADD are:
being easily distracted from a task, lesson, or conversation
difficulty keeping the mind on any one thing
getting bored with a task before it’s completed
skipping over details
making careless mistakes
difficulty listening when directly addressed
difficulty following instructions or finishing tasks
disorganization and forgetfulness
Children with ADD often bounce from task to task without completing any of them, or skipping necessary steps in procedures. They often have difficulty learning new material. Organizing their schoolwork and their time is harder for them than it is for most children.
Well I hope you learned something about ADD. Yes i have a very big interest in that matter.

XD
just kidding. Im pretty sure A.D.D. is when its hard for you to consentrate(spelling?). My music teacher has A.D.D.... Oh how i love music XD
I've heard it makes it hard to concentrate on things, or people get bored very quickly with things that don't take all that much time.
Sometimes, when you're having a conversation with someone with ADD, they'll be in the middle of something, and then suddenly say ...Look at that bird! etc.
Attention Deficit Disorder.... find it hard to concentrate on one thing for a long time, hyperactive, lots of energy, fidgity and rowdy
