When asked for an explanation from his wife as to why he didn't complete the sex act, the husband replied "I've been diagnosed with penile attention deficit disorder (PADD)."

A person with an attention span less than one second due to chronic masturbation, video gaming and schnauzer banging as a youth. People with this condition can't even commit to taking a shit when they are already on the toilet. The only way to grab their attention is to talk about fakies, jeeps, weed or seven different kinds of smoke.
Brah, my boss's attention deficit douchebag disorder (ADDB) is off the charts. He was spanking his monkey the other day and he forgot what he was doing!

A form of Attention Deficit in which suffers zone out while listening to the radio, only to be jolted back to consciousness when a truly awful song has hit the radio or their playlist. While this often occurs in a public audio forum of some sort – in an office cubicle, at party they are hosting, or in the car on a date; acute embarrassment is also experienced by those listening to a personal device through headphones, or listening to music while alone.
More typical still, is that the song is more than halfway through before the ADRD sufferer realizes – heightening the feeling of embarrassment or confusion at having been caught listening to Richard Marx/Vanilla Ice/Journey/Ricky Martin/The Baha Men, the Electric Slide, or country and western music for a number of minutes.
It should be pointed out that triggers for ADRD vary widely person to person, and clique to clique.

John knew his Attention Deficit Radio Disorder (ADRD) had again affected his chance of being taken seriously at work - he didn't realize until his boss was walking past his cubicle, that Smoke Two Joints by Sublime was cranking on his speakers.

"Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological brain disorder that manifests as a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity that is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. ADHD begins in childhood, and as has only recently been understood, can persist into adulthood as well. While some children outgrow ADHD, about 60% continue to have symptoms into adulthood. The disorder manifests differently in adults as hyperactivity tends to diminish." (www.adhd.com, 2007)
I really hope this information debunks the mythical "definitions" of ADHD, aka Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, out there. This information is reliable, fact-based, and referenced. Degrading self-righteous opinions and narrow-minded assumptions are not included in this text.

It is believed that ADHD is a highly genetic disorder. Approximately 35 percent of parents of children with ADHD have the disorder themselves. It's also not uncommon to discover that other people in the family (siblings, aunts, and/or uncles) also have ADHD. Interestingly, many parents only come to learn about their own ADHD once their child has been diagnosed. This may explain a lifetime of frustrations and prompt them to get help. (www.adhd.com, 2007)

I met the most wonderful woman for drinks last night. She’s perfect. Smart, funny, sexy as hell. I think she may be the one… Oh wow! Dude you should see who just “winked” at me on Match. Oh I can’t wait to meet this one! Sorry…what was I just saying before? What? C'mon I don't have attention dating deficit disorder. I'm just picky.
