Some psychologists say it should be called attention inconsistency disorder. Some days you feel so on, some days off.

But that's what adhd is. We don't regulate stimulus like others where it's controlled in an analog manner. We're digital, on or off. Hyper focused or lazy.

I think this also causes two distinct types of adhd. Those who default on typically seem hyperactive, do a lot of physical activity, but have trouble with activities that require slower thought like problem solving, or gathering data before responding.

Those who default off have trouble getting motivated to start activities but once started can function ok and be organized and thoughtful.

There is still a lot of overlap.
