I liked this video for this quoted metaphor: “Having ADD is like your brain is a TV and someone else has the remote.” -- Unknown

Youtuber Ally Hardesty says: 

“Having ADD is like your brain is a TV and someone else has the remote. So they might really like a certain show and you’ll be hyperfocused on it.  (A show as metaphor for an activity or conversation). But that channel can be switched like that *snaps fingers* and suddenly you can’t pay attention. Your mind is somewhere else. You never know for how long you’ll be able to focus on something. 

“When I hyperfocus on something, I want to soak up that focus while I have it in order to get the task done, because I know that later on I won’t have the ability to focus. 

When I’m hyperfocusing I also can’t stop. Nothing else can grab my attention. It’s all I want to do. So I’m going to finish editing that video, making lunch, reading that book. I won’t want to stop because I’m so stuck in that headspace of ‘this is all I can think about, this is all I want to do right now’. 

“It took me a while to realise other people’s brains don’t do that.”
