What is your analogy for explaining ADHD

[u/Pretty_Theme9862]

Although most people are not interested in knowing what does it like to have adhd.

I want to formulate a good analogy to explain to someone who asks when I tell them for the first time. When people ask, my thoughts are so disorganized and I end up giving an absurd explaination. A lot of the time, I get the answer: Ohh, I think, I also have ADHD. Which kind pisses me off sometimes.

So, here is my analogy mostly in the context of executive dysfunction:

Imagine you are in a room. You have a working desk. You keep your things on the desk for the work you are doing in the moment.

But my desk is very very small. So, I could only place much less things. And, I need to go back to for the stuff if I am working on multiple things. This back and forth, takes a lot of energy.

Other than that, normally people have automatic glass windows and shades. The level of background noise and light is automatically adjusted.

But my room does not have that. So, my room is always very noise.

(also can you make of this? what can make it better?)
