1. I have attention deficit disorder, it is a real condition, I have been diagnosed including having radioactive isotopes through my brain to map my development and yet I’m a leader, I have accomplished much, I did well in school and went on to earn a master’s degree and I can actually concentrate when I want to. I wasn’t even aware that I had ADD until I was 40 (I’m now 47) and knowing it has changed my life for the positive. I don’t believe it’s a disease – it’s simply a slow-functioning prefrontal cortex. Essentially – it’s just the way your brain is wired. It’s both your curse and your secret sauce. Embrace it.
