Sufferers of Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD, frequently change the focus of their attention without warning.  Therefore, I did my best to exhibit that trait. Man, you post with Frink on here every day and need this explanation? :D

ADD is no longer part of the DSM. They chose to instead label with ADHD and provide subtypes.

With that being said, ADHD is more accurately described as an inability to regulate attention. It's less of "I can't stop shifting my attention" and more of "I can't stop paying attention to this even though I don't want to anymore" or "I just can't pay attention to this at all".

 

Finally, your specialized knowledge comes in handy on a Star Wars discussion board!  You knew this day would come.  Now go treat George Lucas for ADHD.  We, the experts, have diagnosed him.
