People view them as trouble makers, irresponsible or perhaps hopeless. It is true that ADD people tend to get distracted easily and have trouble focusing. They tend to under perform in many areas of their life hence it is quite normal for people to label ADD people as dumb. But one thing people do not know about them is, they generally have a unique ability to hyper focus in areas that interest them and as a result, solve problems at a level that only highly gifted people can. Obsessive compulsive disorder is also linked to people with ADD. The link between genius and ADD have been known for a long time.
So here is my plea to people that are dealing with troublesome ADD kids. Be patient with them and learn how to nurture them in a loving environment because they truly are unpolished gems that have incredible potential to do amazing things.
