No. ADD just means that you have a lower span of attention than normal people. You don't lose knowledge when you have ADD.

NO. The person might use it as an EXCUSE to not DO right and to do wrong, but a person with ADD does not lose the ability to know what is right and what is not. Sad to say, we live in a society and age where people might use a true disease as an excuse to just not do right.

No, you can always know right from wrong, it is weather you realize weather it is or isn't right before you act on the subject. I have add and I am very smart but sometimes I do not think of what I am doing and weather it is the right thing. Then later I look back and think that wasn't the best choice I could have made.

No - a person with ADHD does not lose their ability to know right from wrong. They just can't seem to keep their minds focused on anything.
They also tend to be compulsive - for example, picking something up and not even realizing they did it.
Anger is sometimes and issue
ADHD, tourettes, compusive tendancy and learning disabilities can all work together - so you might consider testing whomever it is you are concerned with.

No they will not. Does anyone read any articles? 90% of things asked here are in your same computer . Just google the m,an item such as ADD has pages of answers. These ansers are from reputable sourses.
We are becomnig a nation of idiots. Common sense to ask a question but not common sense to look it up .

No. Don't use ADD as a crutch! Meaning don't use this as excuse for every little thing, especially knowing right from wrong!

No--ADD is not about ethics or morals at all--it's simply about the ability to stay focused on one thing at a time.

No, that's an excuse if someone says that. It a problem with attention, not with any other part of the brain. It does not control perception of right and wrong.

No. ADD has nothing to do with knowing right from wrong.
