Also,
I'm still not sure I've got ADD but I sure can relate to a lot of what ADD folk talk about. Creative and intelligent people tend to exhibit these characteristics too and I like being a nutty professor kind of person and don't consider that a mental disease that needs curing. But it's for sure useful to understand these things better rather than thinking it's pure laziness or that I 'ought' to be different. Simply understanding can go a long way toward feeling better about ADD which is not the case for depression or anxiety.
Being incapacitated or crippled by ADD is no fun though I'm still trying to sort out what's caused by what. I've certainly got some childhood issues to blame my bad habits on as well.
