Slightly crazy writer and passionate educator for those who struggle
Scatty vs ADHD
My brain flits there
My brain flits here
My brain travels to another thought
I’ll start one thing
And before I know it
I’ve moved on to do another.
I cannot seem to focus
The world is much to bright
A movie to watch
A book to read
A poem I must write
And all the while I struggle
To focus and complete one task
I so often wonder if it’s just scatty brain I have
Or perhaps something more serious
Something diagnosable
But in order to get diagnosed
I’d have to concentrate
So I guess that I’ll just soldier on
And wonder way too much
About my scatty flitty brain
Whose focus jumps too often
And try again to focus it
On a task
Worked through to completion.

It saddens me that children who have “scatty flitty brains” are too often (mis)diagnosed with ADD or ADHD when, in fact, they’re just kids with active minds and energy to burn.

Indeed. School is not so well suited to those who do not fit the mold.
