Often? Which means sometimes is is a disorder?
there are a lot of advantages ADD persons have in certain ares
ONLY if they choose to use those advantages. If you ask someone who has it, they would not call ADD itself an advantage.
I said 'Often' because depending on the degree and manifestation of it, it can be very dehibilitating and harder to find 'advantages'. It is a spectrum. And yea, people with ADD need to put themselves in situations where their creativity, inginuity, boldness, hyperfocus and hypersocialibility (typical traits) can be used positively. And, btw, I have ADD and do call it an advantage. :)
