The issue is not whether some ADDers have special talents (many clearly do), it’s whether or to what extent those talents are linked to Attention Deficit. Filmbuff says s/he’s a mechanical genius. Well, I for one can’t figure out how to use a screwdriver. S/he says s/he’s so hyperactive s/he’ll never gain weight. Oh, I can only wish. Shutterbug says s/he’s never met a computer s/he can’t beat. Well, I’ve never met a computer that couldn’t beat me. So there it is. You guys have these “superpowers,” but they are not universally shared by other fellow travelers. So it begs the question: does ADD actually confer these “superpowers”? Or are you guys simply talented folk who also happen to have ADD?
