What you're describing is ADHD though. Watch the rest of the presentation that someone linked and he goes over and describes exactly what you're describing. It's not so much an attention disorder, he goes on to say it's not an appropriately named disorder, but is an executive function disorder that affects drive and motivation due to an inability to keep something as a focus within your executive functions. The hyperactivity also stops being expressed physically and outwardly as you age, and turns inward and into a mental hyperactivity as you grow older.
