ADHD

A neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that affect executive function, including working memory, task initiation, sustained attention, and self-regulation. ADHD affects an estimated 3-6% of adults globally. In accessibility contexts, ADHD creates challenges with digital interfaces that demand sustained attention, linear workflows, and consistent engagement. People with ADHD may benefit from reduced visual clutter, clear task prioritization, flexible pacing, distraction-minimizing interfaces, and tools that support episodic rather than continuous productivity patterns. ADHD is also associated with strengths such as hyperfocus, creative non-linear thinking, and adaptive resilience.
