A Young Person's Perspective

• Imagine living in a fast moving kaleidoscope where sounds, images and thoughts are constantly shifting.

• Getting easily bored yet helpless to keep your mind on tasks you have to complete.

• Getting distracted by unimportant sights and sounds - your mind flitting from one thought or activity to another.

• You get so wrapped up in your own thoughts and images that youdon't even know when someone speaks to you or what they say.
