I have ADD, an above average IQ of 122, great grades, and alot of accomplishments. Lots of times when kids are being lazy or stupid, they say it's ADD, and other peopl,e say the diognosis of ADD or ADHD is just an exuse to be lazy. This makes me really mad, because ADD isn't fake, it insn't an exuce, and it isn't a sighn of lack of inteligence or work ethic. It just means that I can't focus on what I'm supposed to focus on a lot of the time unless i'm on medication. And why call it a disablitiy? I think because of ADD, I'm a more creative person and a deep thinker. Do the lies about ADD make other people mad too?
