What's It Really Like to Have ADHD?

Duane Gordon was a project manager at a firm in Montreal when his boss asked him to run the Monday morning meeting. "I was excited because this was obviously a test of [whether] I could eventually be groomed for taking over the department," he recalls.

That discussion took place on Friday afternoon. On Monday, everyone showed up for the meeting, wondering where the boss was, including Gordon. "It was completely gone from my memory that I was to run this meeting," he says. When the boss didn't show up, everyone went back to their desks. Later in the day, the boss came in and asked Gordon how the meeting went. "I said, 'We didn't have the meeting, you weren't here. I figured we'd have it when you came in.' And he looked at me completely dumbfounded, like, 'How is that even possible?'"

Gordon has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He describes it as a feeling of paranoia. “You're always, always on edge."

He explains: “You never know when something is going to go horribly wrong. There's every chance it will. If my boss calls me, I wonder what went wrong. If I get mail, I wonder if I'm going to jail. You assume and expect that at any moment you're going to get sideswiped by something, and it's something you did or forgot to do that is going to have severe repercussions.”

ADHD is a condition that both children and adults can have. The symptoms include an inability to focus, being easily distracted, hyperactivity, poor organization skills, and impulsiveness. Not everyone who has ADHD has all these symptoms. They vary from person to person and tend to change with age.
