"Easiest ADHD diagnosis ever"   Below the caption is a photo of a piece of lined notebook paper where someone was assigned to repeatedly write the sentence "I will sit still". To complete the lines quickly, they drew long vertical grid lines down the entire page first and then filled in individual letters or parts of words column by column down each numbered line (writing all the "I"s, then "wi"s, "Sit"s, and "stil"s vertically).
