Attention Deficit Disorder - a disorder where a person finds it difficult to concentrate for extended periods of time and often becomes distracted.
ADD and other distractions often lead to procrastination.
I think that everyone has some ADD but when it starts to interfere significantly with your life (like failing grades in school/college), then it's probably more serious.

Do you mean A.D.D. ? Attention Deficit Disorder. Which is when a person has a problem paying attention and staying focused.
Edit: The person above is reffering to OCD which is obsessive compulsive disorder.... something completely different

It is a made-up disorder to give parents, teachers, etc. an excuse to drug their kids rather than discipline them. The simple rule is that if a kid can play a video game for an hour, they do not have an attention deficit problem. They have a behavior problem.

Absesive Compulsive Disorder: I do not know tooo much about it but it is when the person cannot pay attention to one thing for too long or they need to be always doing something. That is just from my basic knowlege though.
