read Allisions post above - she is right on the money. The problem isnt that ADD is some disease that destroys peoples lives

the problem is that, at most, only 10% of the people in our society have brains wired this way, and the other 90% design the school programs, control businesses, and in general decide what is the 'normal' way for people to function.

To drive the point home, Edison did not flunk out of school, he only attended public school for about 6 weeks. Then sent him home with a note "Please dont bother sending Thomas to school anymore. We have concluded he is retarded and you are only wasting your time sending him here."

The man was obviously a genius, but the normal mode of public education could not accept him.
