Great Question

I am glad you brought up this point. There are some detractors who make aliving bashing people who have ADD/ADHD.

Edison was known to work on as many as 40 projects at one time, while rarely finishing any of them. Yet, this classic ADD/ADHD symptom did not deter him from making a significant contribution to humanity. A number of contemporary ADHD success stories discuss how the condition enabled them to thrive within their chosen field.
