I think the term ADD is thrown around so loosely nowadays that it's become somewhat synonymous with someone who's just not completely focused all the time and serious about everything. It seems almost trendy to say you have it and laugh about it. I was diagnosed with it in my young teen years. I never took meds and instead my parents put me into a private school where the class sizes were a little smaller and where I'd be able to get more attention from the profs. Throughout the years, and with a lot of hard work I went from being a pretty poor and scatterbrained student to getting a 4.0 gpa in university and then a masters degree. I gradually grew out of it / learned to cope with it.
Anyways, at the very least, the whole phenomenon of the recently very popular real or 'imagined' ADD, is quite interesting.
