Fan Casting Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!(Hollywood ADD, Hollywood ADHD)

Role added by connieblackwood on September 2, 2023

Description of Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny! (Hollywood ADD, Hollywood ADHD):

In media, the symptoms of attention deficit disorders tend to be exaggerated to the point of absurdity. Sufferers seem to be on a constant caffeine high. They are unable to maintain focus on anything for more than a few minutes before getting distracted by a shiny object, hence the trope title. There are a few simple reasons for this trope. First is a rampant misunderstanding about what ADHD actually is (in which case you should go do some research), resulting in the oversimplification and exaggeration. Second, it's much funnier to have a character who just fidgets and spaces out occasionally without having to worry about the realism of adding other dimensions to their personality.
