I often have to stop mid sentence, tell people I’m already at the end of my paragraph, and have to back up several missed points.

    I’ve heard the analogy of “a Ferrari engine, but with the brakes and turning power off a bicycle”.

    If I’m on a straightaway, we’re golden. Just don’t ask me to change course partway through or stop to explain anything. I’ll end up just hitting a wall.

      I like that analogy. I was never diagnosed, but I think I have it, (specifically, the inattentive subtype) and grew to cope with it.
