The idea
ADHD involves persistent inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that appears before age twelve and impairs functioning in more than one setting.
In practice
Difficulty sustaining attention appears at school and at home rather than in one demanding class.
Where people slip
The multi-setting requirement is what separates the diagnosis from a difficult environment.
