Why does no one focus on the positives? Yeah, there's shit to deal with but there are also lots of good points:

* Ability to assimilate and process information * Ability to hyperfocus * Shit loads of empathy (can get a bit out of hand thought!) * Creativity

There are lots more things that we're better at than non-ADD people, I just can't think of any at the moment! See Lynn Weiss' book for a more comprehensive list.

I think it's important for ADD people to not play the victim; yeah we're different and yeah, society doesn't favour our way of thinking but it's not all bad.
