Many of us know someone living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This developmental disorder is often diagnosed in childhood, but symptoms can continue throughout adolescence and adulthood. The most commonly cited signs of ADHD are impulsivity, hyperactivity and/or inattention. Lesser-known superpowers among those with ADHD include seemingly endless energy and the ability to hyperfocus when interested in a project.

This looks like it will be an interesting look into the inner world of children on the autism spectrum.
