A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with adhd and I’m having a hard time understanding how it works, being a child of the 80s/90s it was always just explained in a very simplified manner and as just kind of an auxiliary problem. Thank you in advance.

I’m currently trying to get an ADHD diagnosis as an adult, which is tough. I’m 36.
For me, everything in life is like that puzzle where you have a chicken and a fox and a bag of corn, and you have to cross a river but you can only fit one of them in the rowboat at a time. You can’t leave the fox with the chicken or the chicken with the corn.
So let’s say it’s my day off and I want to get up, work out, have some breakfast, shower. I have to go to the store for breakfast. But I don’t want to go to the store without having showered, so I should work out first. Then shower. Except studies show that you should get protein in right after a workout, so I need to go to the store to buy food. But I’ll need to shower. And there’s no point showering BEFORE I work out. But I’ll need food. I read it in a magazine. Which magazine was it? I need to find that magazine, it had some good workouts…
Three hours later and I’m in the attic reading old X-Men comics I found whilst initially looking for the magazine. I have not exercised or showered and I am hungry, but I also need to Google this “Count Dante” guy who used to advertise in comics.
So I have to put the chicken in the row boat first. Then the fox. Then, wait, why did we even bring a fox? And couldn’t we buy corn on the other side of the river? I should shower…
