“While the typical understanding of ADHD suggests that people who have it are overstimulated, the ADHD brain is actually chronically understimulated. It just needs more input than a neurotypical brain to keep it humming, so what appears to be a lack of attention or impulse control is really just a desire to get to a baseline level of stimulation that keeps our brains happy.”
