Problems of the mind... effecting work

While you could make the argument that ADD is a genetic disorder, you could equally make the argument that it's a developed disorder.

The mind is a collection of pathways optimized for what you learn, or repetitive tasks. Much like learning how to snowboard, your mind doesn't know what to do at first. Eventually it develops the "proper" neural pathways through constant practice and will remember how to snowboard, as an impulse. It could easily be that this inability to focus and see one thing through is a learned behavior.

If you read that link... although ritalin helps, it doesn't help for the long term.

No, my idea is totally correct. It's based on the idea that since you don't experence it, you can't prove to yourself it's real. It's the whole idea that we are more connect to eachother, yet we are father appart. If you suffer from allergies, do I question you since I don't suffer from them, because I don't experence effects? Couldn't you just be creating it in your head for attention? Could people be making money off of you? (for the record, I suffer from allergies).

It's less of me having AD/HD, even if you don't belive it, it's that since you dont' see it or you don't experence it, it's not real. Think about the themes of The Matrix here too.
