eli5 – Can someone explain ADHD? Specifically the procrastination and inability to do “boring” tasks?

IMO what trips people up the most is that the “deficit” part of the name is a misnomer. It’s not a lack of attention, it’s an inability to regulate that attention. You cannot *decide* what gets (or doesn’t get) your attention, why, and for how long.
Attention Dysregulation Disorder, Executive Management Disorder, Focus Management Disorder, or something would be less misleading to the public.
