"People reading on the Internet are easily distracted" is not the same as "having ADD".

Well, if it looks like ADD and acts like ADD, it is ADD.

Asperger's, for example, has been pushed under "autism spectrum disorder". And Pluto is not a planet.

I could see Internet overload/distraction be diagnosed as some ADD-like disorder, or the main cause of it...
