I really love the Hindu view on ADD/ADHD. In their perspective a person that doesn’t want to settle down is close to “divination”, because of all the things she needs to do this “last life” before transcending.
And Varg Vikernes from Burzum.org would probably view it like this through his glasses of old Norse religion: Life isn’t a dance on roses, it’s a test. The harder your life is, the more the gods are concerned for you, as they want you to develop and rise out of the ashes as a better person than ever. If you can make it, you prove not only to yourself but also the the gods that you are worthy being equals amongst them.
As a judeo-christian view, can’t it be that God tests you extra hard, because he know that you can handle it? Perhaps some people needs to pull extra weight from the original sin, but if you can manage it it would actually mean that you do something noble for everyone else who can’t handle when life goes against them.
Be happy it’s you and not your (say) sister that got ADD. You have so much to gain from it. When you stop being angry at your mother for not knowing better is the day you take a step closer to becoming a better person. Forgive her, but by all means, teach her about what ADD is.
