I'm new to this type of ADHD and I'm wondering if anyone else has read/heard about how to deal with it? I seem to reflect the same symptoms as most people with ADHD. I've tried using Google for info but everything seems to be for ADHD with low ACC activation, nothing about ACC over-activation :/ Thoughts?

I've read somewhere once where someone was saying the ADHD really is an inaccurate name. It should be attention regulation disorder they said. Which is why so many parents say does my kid even have adhd, they can't focus on school at all and have been diagnosed but they can focus intently on video games with such concentration. I can hyper focus. On my hobbies things like instruments or anything I am really interested in. It is always random so it still interferes. I'll be so focused on an idea or thing I am doing that I will lose track of time and it will screw up a lot of my day. then other times I can't focus at all and it screws up my day too. So they were basically saying that most people with adhd can sometimes focus really well, but they just have very little control over their attention whereas other people can stop and say oh yeah well it's been 30 minutes and ive got more to do and an adhd person might be like wait it's be 3 hours **** how did i let that happen i meant to sit down for 30 minutes? But I do not exactly know what you are refering to. It sounds very interesting though.
