Yes; ADHD is often misunderstood for being only an inability to concentrate. More appropriately, ADHD is a disability that effects a person's control over their focus; it's not a lack of focus but a lack of regulation of a person's focus.
Individuals with ADHD can "hyperfocus" for extended periods on highly stimulating tasks while at the same time be unable to sit for a minute on more boring tasks.

∙ 12y agoYes, we bloody well can. Adhd makes us no different from anyone else. Just because we are more active, imaginative and overall easier to get on with I find, can cause us to forget and leave stuff out on the floor but we can be very organised, thank you!

What can help ADD people sleep?
Lower your dose of medication. If that doesnt work, you probly dont have really bad adhd. Having horrible and newly discovered adult adhd, I have been on concerta, adderall and vyvnase. I started at 18mg concerta and wasnt satisfied with my focus until I got bumped up to 70mg Vyvanse. I take 70mg everyday and i am able to take naps throughout the day, and go to bed normally. Through my experience, being a college student, i have seen people (who are not prescribed) take 30mg aderall to study and not be able to sleep for 2-3 days. If this is the case for you, you dont need it. If you have bad adhd you could take a 30mg Aderall or a 70mg Vyvanse at 7am and be yawning by 12pm. Even the first time i ever took aderall, i was able to sleep normally, which is how i actually discovered i had adhd. Adhd meds can help anyone focus, but theyre meant to help the people who cant focus without them

And everyone except the boys said yes, and then, the teacher said, "Well he has some thing called ADHD. ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. So ADHD is something that makes your brain not be able to focus on one thing and be hyper all the time." So I think that Jason Earles DOES have ADHD.
