    My 14 year old son has ADHD and so do I a male at 53 years old. I was recently diagnosed because I seen the improvement my son has had with Vyvanse. Anyways I guess this is a question, when I was younger I lied about everything I just had to talk non stop and if it meant making things up I would. My son is going through this now and I’m just dumbfounded at how he makes things up. I had never heard that lying was a part of ADHD and Ive recently read that lying is a part of it. I guess I’m asking to reaffirm my belief that it is an issue. And how to deal with it. Please and thanks. Mike F.

    It's a processing of information disorder for me. I hear, but I don't fully process the information (unless I am really interested in the subject matter) - I miss bits of the information and my brain compensates by filling in gaps or ask the person to repeat what they just said. It's like having a filter on in the brain to filter out the non-interesting information/or too complex information, and pay attention to the interesting stuff.
