You see, ADHD brains tend to turn on or off, and they struggle to find a middle ground on any of their functions- like attention, activation, energy, and emotions. The Regulatory experience of the ADHD brain is about its basic neurobiology. In fact, I often think of the experience or “symptoms” as falling into 3 categories: Regulatory, Practical, and Emotional. But the ADHD experience is about so much more than that. I mean- it’s called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, after all.
