As a person who has lived with this disorder for the past 23 years I know this is not true. I have thoughts flying through my head at 100mph which leads to frustration because I can't focus on just one thought. This can lead to word vomit when I want to share those thoughts with others. Eventually this frustration leads to anger directed at no other than myself and then the cycle begins again. I subconsciously have a tendency to be playing with my braids or tapping my fingers on the table as if I were playing the piano, something on me always needs to be moving.

Most people who are living with ADHD are prescribed adderall to help control their fidgeting and focusing their thoughts. I was given a different route. Instead of having a pill I had Mozart. At a young age my mind was trained to listen to classical music and after 2 minutes my focus was on whatever was in front of me. I had been trained in classical music on the piano and spent 2 hours on the weekend in a room by myself with headphones blasting the classical greats! Now as an adult I put on my classical music playlist and get my work or personal projects done. I have also learned that exercise helps to keep my mind focused for a good hour and stops the fidgeting for two.  Do I believe this would work for everyone, probably not. But since I started so young it worked for me! You have to find what works for you.
