It makes it a little bit worse, which is a sign you didn't actually have it.

And then we gave them speed.
Then we gave them Coke, which makes it even more fun.
And so you go, why do we act like we have ADHD?
It's that.
So we have what's called our threshold.
Basically, ADHD is measured by a threshold.
Your brain, there's too much stuff hitting your brain at any one moment.
You can't take it all in.
So your brain has a hard limit that says, cool.
Anything above this, you can pay attention to.
Anything below this, we're not even going to process.
ADHD is marked by having a very high threshold.
Almost nothing gets into their brain.
So that's why you get that real flitting behavior.
When it's there, it's above my threshold, but then it's gone.
And then it's a bird, and now it's gone.
And now it's here, and now it's gone.
