I'd encourage you to learn a bit more about ADHD. Some of the things you described above are symptoms some aren't.

I have pretty bad ADHD and there's nothing that someone else could do to get me to address it. I have to decide to manage myself. Anything you do to mention it or bring it up to them is going to poke at the insecurity that they may have and likely worsen the problem.

That said, somethings to remember:

- If you are going to have a meeting with this person, try a walking meeting or something with some kind of other stimulus - Avoid having lengthy conversations in open office settings or 'busy' areas (specifically with TVs or other people) - Be ready to context switch when engaging with them and allow it. Chances are they are going to come back to that topic later on in the conversation.

I'm sure there are some other things worth thinking about, but def try to read some materials on what ADHD is, there's a lot out there.

Thank you, I'll try to read more about ADHD. I just wanted to clarify that I have not determined this person has ADHD or anything else. They have said it. I'm just describing the behavior and mentioned ADHD as maybe that's related but it could very well NOT be. In any case, I appreciate your advice, thanks.
