I've acted the same way in emergencies, and I was interested to see a study about a year ago indicating that people with ADD have a greater tendency to skip the panic reaction and immediately prepare mentally for crisis response/control. I've noticed the same in some of my freinds, we all jump to help and can remain very calm through an emergency. I know what I'm able to do, and I won't go overboard and try to provide medical help that I'm not qualified to give, for example, but while on the phone with the operator and running toward a crashed car, I've seen people just sitting there and wondering what to do.
