Sure.
Once I started hitting higher-level physics and math, the effort to concetrate would put me to sleep. Same thing in grad school. Read the same paragraph for 10 times and then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
But grade school? High school? I was a teacher's dream student. I graduated with twice as many awards and honors as the next "highest" person in my class. Who, me? ADD? Not until it mattered, not until I had to concentrate and focus and, by then, I was so convinced I was some sort of flawless learner it was unthinkable.
These days I'm on 20mg/d of Focalin XL and now I understand what concentration is. Don't wait until you're 40-something to figure that out.
