（栗原類オフィシャルブログ「栗原類 の ブログ」Powered by Amebaより 2016/06/21）
栗原さんは2015年5月25日放送のNHK「あさイチ」で、発達障害の一つである「注意欠陥障害（ADD）」であることを告白し、大きな反響を呼んだ。出演直後に更新したブログで「多くの人に発達障害について知ってもらう凄くいい機会だったと思います」などと綴っていた。
■発達障害とは
「発達障害」は、忘れ物や失くし物が多かったり、人の話を一定時間集中して聞けなかったりする症状がある「注意欠陥・多動性障害（ADHD）」、人の気持ちを理解することや習慣・予定の変更が苦手な「自閉症スペクトラム障害（ASD）」、特定の分野の学習だけが極端に苦手な「学習障害（LD）」などの総称とされる。ADDはADHDのうち、多動の少ないものの通称だ。
日本では2004年に成立した発達障害者支援法によって、早期発見や支援が定められたが、発達障害という概念が知られるようになってきたのはごく最近のため、周囲からも理解されず、大人になっても生き辛さを抱えている人もいるという。

ADHDかも知れない15のサイン
落ち着きがない(01 of15)
Children with ADHD can be overly energetic, but adults may just feel edgy or restless.\n\n\"Adults don\'t show the more obvious signs such as running and jumping,\" says Colette de Marneffe, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Silver Spring, Md. \"Hyperactivity presents more subtly in the form of restlessness.\"\n\nHowever, you may recall a rambunctious childhood. Dr. Wetzel had a patient who recalled spending a lot of time in the school hallways because \"he couldn\'t sit still.\" It\'s a \"classic story,\" he says.\n\nMore from Health.com:\n10 Things You Should Do If You Have Adult ADHD\n10 Tricks for Paying Better Attention\n7 Celebrities With ADHD
ADHDの子供がいる(02 of15)
ADHD appears to have a genetic component. When one member of the family has it, there\'s a 25- to 35-percent chance that someone else in the family does, too, according to the Attention Deficit Disorder Association. \n\nWhen a child is diagnosed with ADHD, some adults, who may have had the same symptoms when they were children, realize that they may have always had the condition without realizing it.
人間関係のトラブルを抱えている(03 of15)
A newly minted relationship is often exhilarating, but the novelty can wear off in time.\n\n\"Oftentimes adults with ADHD really have a hard time with that transition,\" notes de Marneffe. \"When the relationship becomes more stable and predictable, conflicts tend to emerge.\"\n\nBeing easily distracted or inattentive -- symptoms of ADHD -- can also sabotage existing relationships with family, friends, and significant others who view their loved one\'s behavior as self-centered, Dr. Wetzel adds.
タバコを吸う。(04 of15)
About 40 percent of adults with ADHD smoke, versus only 26 percent of the general population.\n\n\"Nicotine is very effective for a lot of ADHD symptoms and it\'s not uncommon for me to see someone for the first time after they quit smoking,\" says Dr. Wetzel. That\'s because they often start to have more problems with focus and concentration, he explains. \n\nAdults with ADHD are also more likely to use alcohol and other drugs, and at earlier ages, than people without ADHD. \n
子供のころ、学習に問題があった(05 of15)
If you suspect you have ADHD as an adult, an early history of ADHD symptoms -- difficulty sitting still, paying attention to the teacher and focusing on your work, for example -- can confirm the diagnosis.\n\n\"What adult patients will tell you over and over and over again is that they had to work twice as hard as their peers to get half as much done in school,\" Dr. Wetzel says.
先延ばしにしがち(06 of15)
Do you live deadline to deadline? \n\n\"I can\'t tell you how many times a patient has told me, \'I\'m the king of procrastination,\' or \'I\'m the queen of procrastination,\' because they feel like no one else can put things off like they can,\" says Dr. Wetzel. \n\nIt makes sense, he adds, because when people with ADHD are under the gun and anxious, that\'s when they can focus. Constant anxiety, however, can be very stressful.
スリルを求める。(07 of15)
People with ADHD are often drawn to activities that are stimulating. They may engage in risky behaviors, like fast driving, gambling and even extramarital affairs.\n\nThe key is to channel that desire for excitement and novelty into activities that don\'t jeopardize your work and family life, says de Marneffe. Parasailing or other high-adventure activities may be good outlets.
よく物をなくす。(08 of15)
Is losing your cell phone, wallet or keys part of your daily routine? People with ADHD frequently misplace common items.\n\nDr. Wetzel describes ADHD as an \"underpowered state of consciousness.\" \n\nIf you set down your keys and you\'re not really paying attention, your brain doesn\'t lay down a memory of the event. \"It\'s kind of like it never happened,\" he says.
仕事にトラブルを抱えている(09 of15)
Everyone encounters some task he doesn\'t particularly enjoy, but most people are able to find a way to complete the boring aspects of their job, says de Marneffe. People with ADHD, however, have a hard time doing that. \n\nJobs with a lot of repetition tend to be a poor fit, she observes. Choose work that engages you and fulfills your need for novelty and variability.
短気である。(10 of15)
If you fly off the handle in a fit of anger or frustration one moment but are completely over it in the next, it might be a sign of ADHD.\n\nBecause this type of irritability can also be a symptom of bipolar disorder, some people with ADHD can be misdiagnosed, says Dr. Wetzel. (However, you can also have both.)\n\nIt\'s important to get a thorough evaluation and diagnosis.
最後まで遂行することが苦手。(11 of15)
Is your house cluttered with piles of laundry? Is your expense account still a work in progress? Failing to finish tasks can be a symptom of ADHD in adults.\n\nDr. Wetzel, author of the e-book \"The Adult ADHD Handbook for Patients, Family & Friends,\" finds the most successful ADHD patients tend to be entrepreneurs who recognize this shortcoming and surround themselves with people who will focus on the details, finish the paperwork and handle the mundane portions of a task.
衝動的である。(12 of15)
If you blurt out whatever\'s on your mind without weighing the consequences, it might be a symptom of ADHD.\n\nAnd acting on an impulse, rather than thinking things through, can cause trouble with family and colleagues. \n\nExamples would include abruptly quitting a job, having unprotected sex or impulse buying with little thought about the repercussions.
なかなかリラックスできない。(13 of15)
Your spouse wants to catch a movie, but unless it\'s the thriller you\'ve been dying to see, you may get up several times or have random thoughts that distract you from the plot.\n\nBeing calm requires a quiet mind, and that\'s tough for people with ADHD because \"so many other things can take over their consciousness,\" Dr. Wetzel says. \"People with ADHD will tell you it\'s almost impossible for them to meditate.\"
すぐ気が散る。(14 of15)
You\'re on a conference call, but your mind keeps wandering. Next thing you know, you\'ve lost chunks of conversation.\n\nWith ADHD, sustaining focus is a real problem and a core feature of the disorder. Unimportant things -- from external noises and movement to daydreams -- grab your attention.\n\nMove to a work space with fewer distractions or use white noise to block out other sounds in the surrounding environment.
片付けが苦手(15 of15)
Here\'s the tip off: Your desk is a mountain of paper and you just wasted a half hour searching for an important legal document. Or maybe you failed to make appointments for your children to see the pediatrician, and the school wants their immunization reports -- pronto.\n\nIf you have ADHD, getting and staying organized is a challenge for you. Breaking organizational tasks into smaller steps may help, according to the National Resource Center on ADHD, in Landover, Md. \n\nMore from Health.com:\n10 Things You Should Do If You Have Adult ADHD\n10 Tricks for Paying Better Attention\n7 Celebrities With ADHD
