“We Aren’t Bored We Are Overwhelmed
“Myth: ADHDers struggle with boredom Truth: Many of us often confuse being bored with being stagnated by the racing of our thoughts.
We often say we are bored when what we actually mean is that we are lacking enough stimulation to keep up with our brains.
This is why the mundane is so tough. It doesn’t satisfy our need for stimulation.”
