Cropmom,
People with ADD can be loners and loners can be ADD. One is not a sub set of the other, only an intersection.
We are ADD because of how our brains are wired. That is a condition of the structure and chemistry of our brains.
Throughout our lives, experience may have taught some of us to prefer the company of our own thoughts to that of people. To other ADDers, experience has shown them not to avoid people. Who is to say that that is how we would be without being ADD?
I sometimes envy people like Rick and Patrick, who can get up in front people and entertain/educate them. It is very difficult for me even present findings on research or lecture on subjects which I am expert in. I have a real problem talking with people. To me, “The more the merrier” is some kind of sick joke.
