This thread is about information sharing /awareness, partially because the topic affects others /me and i think it can be helpful, but also largely because this is really interesting to me, especially the more dry /scientific side of things.
It can be easier for me to absorb information that is more densely packed /presented more objectively because it's more interesting to me that way but it's probably different /not the same for others and it could seem rude /disheartening for the information to be presented that way, so if someone wants to share the same information through a different perspective or form of media please don't worry about things like reposting /repeating information and go ahead.

Since 1798, the medical literature on attention disorders has distinguished between at least two kinds, one a disorder of distractibility, lack of sustained attention, and poor inhibition and the other a disorder of low power, arousal, or focus. This second disorder has been largely ignored for nearly two centuries until the mid-1980s when studies of children having ADD without Hyperactivity suggested that an important subset had a relatively distinct pattern of symptoms not central to ADHD. These symptoms included daydreaming, mental fogginess and confusion, staring, slow processing of information, hypoactivity, slow movement, and lethargy, among others.
