Hello, Tropers. Welcome to the page of multiple interruptions for picking up stuff off the — Ooh, a page telling us to describe this trope here! 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. In reality, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) consists of a whole set of symptoms, some detrimental and some beneficial. For example, one person with ADHD might be very social and loves talking to different people, gets excited about discovering new things, and sometimes loses track of what's happening around them; and another might be reclusive and shy and unable to perform well in a controlled setting, but really opens up with a close friend or when talking about something that interests them (for more information on ADHD in real life, see our useful notes page). 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.note The misdiagnosis of ADHD/ADD, especially with the rampant Ritalin craze in the '80s, have really shaped public opinion towards this disorder. Bear in mind, though, there are people who legitimately have ADHD out there. 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. If this type of character has Animal Motifs, they're often associated with dogs, squirrels, kittens, or ferrets. See also Hollywood Psych, Hollywood Autism, The Schizophrenia Conspiracy, and "L" Is for "Dyslexia". Similar types include the Absent-Minded Professor, Forgetful Jones, and the Cloudcuckoolander (who may or may not have a disorder). This exaggeration is frequently seen in Genki Girls and Keets. Can often overlap with Easily Impressed where people are amazed easily rather than distracted. These symptoms are well within the very wide range of symptoms that you might see in any character with an unspecified diagnosis. Attention Deficit Creator Disorder may be what you get when an artistically inclined individual has a case of this in Real Life. Closely related is What Does This Button Do?, which you can expect to hear often from such individuals. Hilarity may or may not ensue. Liable to Forget To Eat, right up until the point that a Delicious Distrac- HEY! Are those chocolate chip cookies?! Mmmm.... Not to Be Confused with— oh, wow! Look at all the examples! |

Noka: Found has the brilliant idea of smashing the furniture down and refashioning all of it into a fort-igloo hybrid. Albeit, he did almost none of the work and spent most of the time searching for his bacon-print underwear to fly as the fort's flag, he still managed to convince Abel and Solo to help him. | |

Dory from Finding Nemo fits the bill, though her "disorder" is rather attributed to a condition of "short term memory loss". As she can only remember a relatively short span of time clearly, it's easy for her to forget what she was originally doing and thus is likely to switch to a new topic. It runs in her family... she thinks. This is actually a disorder known as Anterograde Memory Dysfunction or AMD. This is the same mental condition shown in the Christopher Nolan movie Memento. | |

While not a commentary on ADHD, there was a strip from The Far Side showing a group of warriors storming a castle, running across the moat bridge while one guy points to the water and exclaims "Ooh, goldfish, everyone, goldfish!" Gary Larson stated that he's fond of that one because "that's me on the bridge." | |

Miss Elizabeth: Played the part perfectly during the Hulk Hogan-Randy Savage vs. Ted DiBiase-André the Giant match at the 1988 Summer Slam, when — just as it seemed the hellish Mega Bucks team had victory wrapped up — she took off her skirt to reveal a bikini bottom. DiBiase was stunned and couldn't concentrate, and heel-leaning referee Jesse Ventura was also distracted (Andre, portrayed by the announcers as also being distracted, was actually yelling at Ventura to pay attention to the match). All this distraction allowed Hogan and Savage to regain their bearings and rally to a victory. | |

Helen Burns from Jane Eyre probably had inattentive type ADD. The list of personal flaws Helen confesses to Jane all match the diagnostic criteria: "I am... slatternly; I seldom put, and never keep, things in order; I am careless; I forget rules; I read when I should learn my lessons; I have no method; and sometimes I say... I cannot bear to be subjected to systematic arrangements." She goes on to describe how, although she does very well in classes that catch her interest, her thoughts "continually rove away" during uninteresting lessons. | |

Whateley Universe example: Joanne Gunnarson, code name Murphy, but her problem is written fairly accurately. Has ADHD, and has just manifested as a mutant so her meds don't work right. Spends all her time walking around drinking coffee. When she gets distracted or upset, her power kicks in, which is bad. She's a Reality Warper, and reality usually warps so that she gets the short end of the stick. | |

System of a Down has oft-changing time signatures and desperate, screaming lyrics in their songs to mimic the signs of Attention Deficit Disorder, according to Word of God. They also take stances against the pharmaceutical drugging of youth, with the title track off of the album Toxicity representing the poison of complacency that medication offers, in their opinion. | |

PeanutButterGamer shows shades of this during the Hardcore series or other Let's Plays. In his Super Mario 64 LP on the DS, he mentions in his first video wanting to explain why he's playing on the DS and not the Virtual Console 64 version. He forgets it during that video and has to focus multiple times to recall he hasn't explained yet in the second video. In one livestream, he mentions that both viewers and friends have suggested he may have ADHD, but hasn't really bothered to get a professional opinion on it. | |

The Spren Sylphrena or "Syl" in The Stormlight Archive is very curious, excitable, and easily distracted by something new. In Rhythym of War, she admits that she feels like she has two brains; A rational brain that can focus on important topics, and a childlike brain that constantly jumps to the nearest thing she notices. She regrets that her impulsiveness usually wins out. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Kender race in the Dragonlance setting embodies this trope. They even have a racial ability to "Detect Shiny". The distract spell (3.5th Edition, Spell Compendium) can give this condition to several foes, making them fascinated by everything around them for a short moment. It inflicts serious penalties on skills such as Concentration, Spot, Listen and Search, and makes them unable to act as much as normal since they can get distracted even mid-combat. |

The Batwinged Bimbo From Hell class in Macho Women with Guns (both being Exactly What It Says on the Tin, by the way) has access to the skill "distort reality"; by shifting their attention completely to something like their nail polish, a run in their stockings, or a shiny object, they can avert any attack by not paying any attention to it at all. If the skill roll succeeds, the attack instead targets another player. | |

The Game Grumps often put their conversations on hold when something unexpected pops up in the game they're playing. Of specific note, is whenever they get into a row over what is and isn't a Kaiju. It's happened enough times to be significant with arguments between Arin, Ross, and Holly over whether Clifford the Big Red Dog, Paul Bunyan, Dan if he was twice as big, King Kong, Big Bird, and "that giant chicken from YouTube" are or are not a Kaiju, and they actually get pretty heated complete with mic drops. They stopped for about 5 straight minutes to argue the fact during their stream of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, until Dan had enough and demanded they keep playing... and the arguing continued for another good 10 minutes or so while Arin half-assedly played. |

The main character's younger sister in the film Pecker is diagnosed with ADHD, when in reality she just consumes way, way, way too much sugar. After being prescribed Ritalin, she acts quite zombie-ish, culminating with her nearly choking on a pill after she refuses to wash it down with a soda. By the end of the film, she's off both the sugar and the meds. | |

New Life SMP: Much of Katherine's 1st episode is spent on her being distracted by rocks and sticks on the ground, modded mechanisms, pretty flowers, and cute animals, then her chiding herself for being distracted. Sparrow repeatedly shows this trait, especially during his stints of being non-human: As a Copper Golem, he's quite easily distracted by buttons and has to restrain himself from pushing them whenever he sees one. The first time he finds out he can gain redstone dust from this, he immediately gets distracted by this ability to the point it takes Scott stopping by for a visit and physically breaking the button (after gaining 7 stacks of redstone) for him to snap out of it. While holding the Sculk origin, he's still repeatedly distracted by various ventures on his journeys — even with a fixed goal in mind, if he stumbles across any big, at times cursed structures, he'll explore it. |

Warhammer: There is a running joke among players that creatures with the Stupidity rule (which means there is a chance the unit will do nothing other than wander forward a few inches for a turn) suffer from this, in particular Dark Elf Cold Ones (dinosaur horse thingies) thinking "kill kill kill kill, ooooh shiny". This is actually accurate in the case of Sigvald the Magnificent, who at random times during the battle will actually become so distracted by how awesome and shiny his armour is that he will stop fighting and demand that his henchmen polish it and tell him how wonderful he is. |

Vsauce: Michael will often get sidetracked and start talking about something only tangentially related to the subject in the video's title. Michael justifies it in video; his goal is to discuss and teach any subjects that he can with the questions in the title only being "hooks" to get the viewer's attention. | |

YouTube personality Tobuscus is this trope personified in his "Lazy Vlog" series, which are often more of a Motor Mouth-fueled stream of consciousness than anything planned. Some recurring distractions approach the level of catchphrases, such as "Ooh, an airplane!" or "Hot hot hot!" when seeing an attractive female. He also has a Let's Play channel (called TobyGames), in which he can be counted on to constantly lose track of what he's supposed to be doing, leading to amusing (if occasionally frustrating) misadventures. | |

Crops up very frequently in Survival of the Fittest. Some portrayals of ADHD (such as Lance Barrett) are very low-key and realistic. Others, however, like with Owen Fontaine, are of the plain old bouncing off the walls variety. | |

The player character of Starship Promise is a brilliant engineer whose train of thought bounces around like a ball in a pinball machine: lightning-fast but very easily diverted onto irrelevant tangents ranging from beluga whales in space to how hot that person over there is, even in the midst of life-or-death situations. | |

An average stream by Joel from Vinesauce (Vargskelethor) will go like this: Joel will play a game, go on a tangent about a topic after seeing something in a game or talking about it, spend several minutes looking up pictures and videos of it, go back to the game, and repeat. Other times, he'll spend way too much time Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer or doing something silly in a game, sometimes to the point until the game literally crashes. | |

Used in the Dungeons & Dragons (2000) film. When Ridley and Snails are sneaking into the magic school, Snails is in a position where he's too scared to jump down a few feet, and Ridley says he'll catch him. Cue Ridley being distracted by an off-screen creature grunting and drawing his attention for just the right moment. | |

Jazz, the protagonist of Songs and Flowers, displays many symptoms of ADHD, but in a more realistic manner. She loses track of what's happening and can be forgetful, but she can also get hyperfocused on certain things, loves learning new things, and can really open up around friends. It also doesn't stop her from being legitimately talented at gathering info and putting pieces together. | |

The "What's This" sequence in The Nightmare Before Christmas: Jack even ends up running into a pole. This, naturally, leads some fans to speculate that Jack has ADD. This is most likely not the case: Jack had been doing the same thing, in the same place, in the same way for an untold number of years. This was the first time he had seen anything like this; he's not distracted by "the shiny" as much as he's trying to take it all in at once while being very (musically) enthusiastic about it. | |
