As for ADD and the nature vs nurture thing….From experience I would say perhaps my disorganization deprived my kids of a more regimented life, but that didn’t make them terrible at math! So I think a person who is going to catch on at school will catch on regardless of the parent’s ADD. One of my kids turned out to have a learning disability which I thought was ADD. As it turned out it was me who had ADD and she had something totally different! The other daughter thinks it’s all silly and won’t get tested despite my suggesting she do. Like me, she can pull things off when she wants too so just thinks she’s lazy.
