How come people with ADD/ADHD have to sit in the same spot everytime?

ihateaccounting asked:


I notice that people with ADD or ADHD always have to sit in the same spot in a classroom everytime. What the hell is that?
This is college students I’ve noticed doing this. One girl even said “I just really like this seat for some reason” and this other boy freaked out silently because someone took his seat.

    It helps them have a sense of “order” and routine. It helps them focus better.

    My 5th grade teacher in very big trouble years ago it would be sense of consistancy for the student though because we get distracted real easily.
