Geez, he’s dead, leave him alone.
A lot of people have ADHD.
>A lot of people have ADHD.<
Nobody had it when I was a kid.
Or they did, but it was called being a layabout.
People with ADHD will go one of two ways. If they find their purpose, they will be more successful than anybody else.
If they cannot find their purpose, they will usually fail miserably in life.
There doesn’t seem to be a middle ground for them.
Wait till the ‘Merry Widow’ Vanessa hears about this speculation. She hasn’t sued anybody for defamation at least not since January. Time to call her Loy-Yah!
True
That applies to anyone.
I have ADHD. I had a wonderful career, but a horrible marriage. So I guess I’m batting 500.

I’ve got it bad.
I have the opposite of ADHD.
Moreso with ADHD than anybody else. If an ADHD person finds their thing, they can work 14 hours/day and 7 days/week until they 80 years old and never need a break from what they do.
A person with ADHD will tend to view doing other things as an interruption.
Very confusing headline. Should’ve read: “despite” ADHD, not “with”.
I have it, my husband has it, all 3 of my adult kids have it, and 2 of my 3 grandchildren. It runs in families. It’s challenging but not a struggle. We’re just wired differently.
Scientists think it came from the hunting part of primitive societies, because it takes a particular mindset to not mind chasing an animal for forty miles to exhaust it.
A nice thing about having it is that you always have a reserve of energy no matter how ragged you were run during your day.
The author clearly doesn’t know shit about ADD.
Exactly. I have at a relatively low end of the spectrum. I have a middle-aged son with it, and he’s knocking it down in the upper six figures.
If Kobe had ADD, that actually helped him focus.
When people with ADD are interested, they are REAL interested.
I still remember the thread from about 20 years ago that someone posted claiming that there was o such thing as ADD. Man, did that person ever catch aiad of shit.
Oh, he died? (Was he famous or something?)
