As I've been discovering what I strongly suspect is adhd within my own brain (undiagnosed, and likely will never pursue such), I think my analogy is that my cpu is over clocked and running hot. Plenty of ram usually, and the storage is plentiful but in need of a defragging; but that CPU is always churning, even when there's no tasks assigned to it.
I'm also discovering that what I thought the H in adhd meant isn't what it really means in practice. I always thought of it is translating to a physical expression, but it doesn't, at least not for me. It's pretty much exclusively internal for me.
ADHD was a bad name for it based on the symptoms. Any deeper thought into the name is likely to cause incorrect conclusions. It meant literal, physical hyperactiveness.
It's like naming the flu "coughy chills with a runny nose".
Influenza comes from the astrological belief that the stars had influence on one's health.
Hell yeah. Love random factoids.
