I was the same way. I could not concentrate on anything until I started programming. I was told I had ADD before but I did not believe it. There might be scientific research proving the existence of ADD, but in diagnosing ADD the same rigor is not applied to each individual's situation. It's just a statistical test. There are two possibilities I think for us: 1. Is that ADD might be primarily a childhood to adolesence problem, and that our brains just grew out of it. 2. The explanation I prefer for myself: that I really did not care about learning anything until I started coding. I don't think it was a disorder. I think I truly didn't care. I guess apathy could be considered a disorder in some ways, like if you didn't care that your home was on fire. But frankly saying it's a disorder that kids don't want to be force fed information on a daily basis with no choice as to what they're learning? I'd say it's a natural reaction of anyone who truly enjoys their freedom. |
