I’m late to the thread, and I don’t have a meme handy to offset all of the other great responses…
I will point you towards Jessica McCabe and her book How to ADHD briefly noted here:

Following along through her real stories of her real life really resonated with me and my real life and so many similar experiences.

One anecdotal data point to consider… They might be really loud.

My circa 2016 DIY attempt at an equivalent of TrackIR used a piece of floppy disk media as IR filter for a PS3eye camera (I used 850nm LEDs tho) .
