Ironically, I personally have always felt a kinship to the character George Bergeron. Why? Because it's a shockingly accurate depiction of how ADHD's lack of control over one's own concentration feels.

Normal stimuli can be like the sounds coming from his earpiece. Unique, unpredictable, and they wreck utter havoc on your ability to concentrate. But sometimes the sounds don't come for hours, and your mind won't - can't - break free of its current task without those sounds.

Anyways. Always a favorite story of mine.
