Communication problems are common when you have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD tends to make it harder to get things done, as it weakens your executive functions. This lowers your ability to remember things, gather your thoughts, and control your impulses. These barriers often get in the way of how you speak and listen to other people, too. The good news is, new techniques and habits can help you get your points across – while making sure your listeners are heard, too.
