Scientifically Defined: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) is a neurobiological disorder. Typically children with AD/HD have developmentally inappropriate behavior, including poor attention skills, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. These characteristics arise in early childhood, typically before age 7, are chronic, and last at least 6 months. Children with AD/HD may also experience problems in the areas of social skills and self esteem.
My Definition: I believe that ADHD is a disorder that effects your ability to pay attention and also effects your ability to sit still. From my experience with ADHD I have realized that it is very hard to keep up with grades in school and also pay attention because people with ADHD have trouble paying attention to things that are boring or repetitive to them. A lot of people may think that you can never pay attention, but if the task is fun or engaging then you will pay attention. So basically I don't think this disorder is necessarily bad but it may interfere with your attention and also your hyperactivity.
