When people think about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), they often picture a hyperactive young boy running around a classroom, not the quiet girl daydreaming in the corner, the chatty student who can’t finish her work or the mother who is chronically late and constantly searching for her keys.
Yet all of these individuals — boys and girls, men and women — may be showing signs of ADHD, a neurodevelopmental condition that can significantly affect daily functioning.
