Music: Helps or Hurts Concentration? | ADHD Information

Share
I'm blown away by the fact that music can help some ADHDers concentrate because it has the opposite effect on me. So I was curious about how it affects ADHD people when they are trying to concentrate.  Please vote.

Most music distracts me and kills my concentration. Only one kind helps me concentrate- wierd fluke that I cant explain, but I'm happy about it. [QUOTE=chocoholic]Are you hyperreactive to stimuli? Usually if you are (as I am) sound will drive you bonkers bc it constantly distracts.

Yes, I am very hyperreactive to stimuli. So hyperreactive that I get very startled EVERY time the phone rings.  Are you the one who says Celtic music is the type of music that helps you?
