Summary

Morgan had a classic case of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), although it had not been diagnosed until he was nearly 40 years old. A computerized test of his ability to withhold impulsive responses revealed that he performed no better than if he had been responding randomly. His ability to sustain concentration and avoid distraction was profoundly impaired. Morgan told me how this contributed to his poor work history.
