I’ve written about Attention Deficit Disorder a couple of times.

  1. How to Know Whether You Have ADD & What to do About It
  2. Why ADD Might Actually Benefit Startup Entrepreneurs

In the articles I made it clear that I’m not a doctor and if you have severe ADD you should consult a professional. But I talked about my personal experiences of finding out I had ADD when I was 39 years old and how this discovery led to a freedom mentally and emotionally because it explained some of my self-perceived weaknesses. It helped me to better understand how my brain works and I began working on coping mechanisms. Since then I’ve been able to Jujitsu my slow-processing frontal cortex into an advantage.
