I am so ADD. Probably had a behavior disorder in high school as well... so naturally I became a special education teacher lol. I always tell my students with ADD that ADD can be a huge asset if you pick the right job. They think ADD means they can't pay attention. But it's quite the contrary. It means you pay attention to EVERYTHING. That can really come in handy as a teacher or an artist whose mind is racing with ideas. Oh yeah. And paramedics. Lots of paramedics have ADD. Helps them assess an accident scene in a hurry.

I was fine in my teen years, then as a college student I got into art, video feedback, well, everything. I had plenty of weird stuff happen. Also, elation, creativity....I found myself interested in things passionately. Now, I am happy. I get to be myself,.....finally! I have never been to a doctor, and don't plan to! I'm making my weird mind work and it's quite content now. ADD is only a condition if you're forced to live in a stupid, dull society that snuffs out creativity.
