It’s a harsh landing, and it’s left me shaken, but I still have to walk up to the blackboard. Everyone is looking at me. I open my mouth. Nothing comes out. Nothing at all. The story I could recite from memory barely an hour ago is gone. There’s not a single syllable left. I’m looking all around the classroom, trying to find the beginning of a sentence. But there are so many students, so much furniture and so many things. So many things spinning all around me. It’s chaos in here.

The House in My Head takes a good look at attention deficit disorder from an original and accessible angle.
