ADHD children

Consider this case: A young man needs to be at the hospital to be with his wife in labor; he comes home briefly to pick up a few supplies before he runs back. Just as he is about to close the door before he leaves, he notices that the birdcage seems a bit unclean. He feels he has a minute to brush the crumbs out before he leaves; 20 minutes later, he notices, startled, that he’s forgotten all about his wife and the birth of their child, and that he has been steadily cleaning the cage quite minutely all this while. Anyone can get a little over-involved in something not entirely reasonably; but to go this far, is quite easily to be suspected of ADHD. It used to be that childhood ADHD or ADHD children was the only kind; today those children have grown up to become ADHD adults, who are just as affected.
