A/N: This is based COMPLETELY on my ADHD, so if things are different for you, please realize that there are different levels of intensity for ADHD, and everyone experiences it's effects in a different way
ADHD is often displayed in ways that people "think" its like (only struggling with focus/hyperactivity), but people dont realize that there are many other struggles that we go through
This is a oneshot i made to raise awareness, as i've never seen one that correctly portrays ADHD

Peter was sat at the kitchen table at his and May's apartment, having just gotten home from a long day at school
He looked down at his laptop, and switched to his teachers' page, looking for that day's homework
English: Write a 7 paragraph essay, double-spaced, on how you think the environment that the black bear lives in has an effect on the way the animal lives.
He thought about it, he really did, but the essay could wait until later...
Peter went searching through his other classes, finding his other homework
History: Pick one person we have learned about in this unit who interests you the most and describe in 2 pages how they had an effect on their time period/location.

it's not that he's procrastinating, he just... works better when he has the motivation
Peter opened his math homework, and immediately started flying through it, math tending to come easily to him, as he happened to know all the answers.
He went through problem after problem, solving them like crazy, before he finished the last problem
"well that was easy", Peter smiled to himself, submitting the assignment, feeling accomplished
Now filled with adrenalin from completing the last assignment, Peter moved onto his English essay assignment again, re-reading the assignment

"Why cant i just freaking understand the assignment?" Peter asked himself out loud, growing more and more frustrated each time he had to re-read the same sentence
English: Write a 7 paragraph essay, double spaced, on how you think the environment that the black bear lives in has an effect on the way the animal lives.
"okay so, i have to write a 7 page essay on how black bears live?" Peter mumbled to himself, trying to make sense of the assignment, "wait no, thats not it"
English: Write a 7 paragraph essay, double spaced, on how you think the environment that the black bear lives in has an effect on the way the animal lives.
Peter just stared at his screen for a few moments, in complete silence, not reading the assignment again, not thinking of anything, just... staring
