@Callmecrazy we will never agree. Your comparison to Aspergers is quite ludicrous given the differences in social interaction and other communication traits that people with ADHD and Aspergers exhibit. “Symptoms of Asperger’s include: impaired ability to utilize social cues such as body language, irony, or other “subtext” of communication; restricted eye contact and socialization; limited range of encyclopedic interests; perseverative, odd behaviors; didactic, verbose, monotone, droning voice; “concrete” thinking; over-sensitivity to certain stimuli; and unusual movements” (http://www.pediatricneurology.com/autism.htm#Asperger’s Syndrome).

You are obviously in the “ADHD is a gift if put to the right use” camp and I am not.
