How do brains with add/adhd function?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Just fine: They function just fine, if it is something they are interested in. If not interested, then they become bored easily and lose focus. The problem with adhd is how to get them to be interested in the boring things of life. Until then, we rely on medications and other techniques to get through life.

Underaroused: The brains of individuals with ADHD are underaroused. They are less alert than those without ADHD. When given stimulant medications, the arousal levelincreases as does the ability to pay attention and focus.
