Trevor Noah on Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
← Back to Trevor Noah Profile
“I think many comedians have ADHD. I think many comedians become comedians and are good comedians because they have ADHD, because it's such a perfect environment for ADHD.”
“People think, and so did I when I was young, that ADHD is, "This kid can't pay attention," when in fact what it means is, you are unable to control what you pay attention to. So generally when you have ADHD, you are paying more attention than most people, but to the wrong thing.”
