I just read a few interesting notes in a book over ADD while doing some research.
Turns out their are some "good" qualities to having ADD.
People with ADD tend to procrastinate more than other people obviously, but the ADD people almost always tend to work much better and are more effecient when under pressure, sometimes almost working miracles.
The other side-effect I read was the ADD people are usually better leaders and are extremly calm and focused in times of crises and emergency. From what I remember, the way it works is that when an important crises comes up, (usually first-aid ordeals) normal people go through a systematic sequence in their brains going from the emotions "fear" and then to "crises", in which they take action upon the situation. ADD people for some reason skip the "fear" part allthogether and move directly to crises mode.
Now I always thought I lose my attention just as much as the other guy, because I always considered myself pretty effecient when it comes to getting things done. It just depends upon the situation, becuase I too get easily bored when reading (especially stuff on the internet)
I'ts just that I've noticed I've been in a few emergencies involving another victim and I always seem to be the first one to act while everyone else stands around and looks. I've also been frequently told I work best under pressure.
I'm still not going to see if I should be diagnosed for ADD. I'm still very skeptical about the disorder. I think most of the effects are average, but I do believe in the disorder.
