There are brilliant adults who are almost completely unable to "stay on task" and it can be pretty damaging to them professionally. I don't believe much in medicines ---and I don't believe they necessarily have a "problem" except with life in modern society. I know people who are off on so many tangents, they forget to renew professional licenses, they put off paying bills even if they have plenty of money to pay them, they don't get around to opening their mail and their lives become almost a disaster.

That nearly perfectly describes me.

Before ritalin and my ADD diagnosis, that is. Now I am (almost) responsible.

I'm not sure I agree with putting a diagnosis on that condition though ---it's probably more a factor of modern society ---what might be problems are actually probably real gifts in some way. ADD is a recent diagnosis ---but probably before the 1900's, it wasn't a problem to be that way.
