1. I never said the commenter above didn't have ADHD.

2. There's nothing we can do to help him other than say "just do it" because frankly if he doesn't "just do it" pretty soon he's fucked.

3. ADHD 1/3 scapegoat 1/3 misdiagnosed 1/3 ? maybe. Neurological evidence for disease? Yes. Vague diagnostic criteria for actual patients? Check.

I see you're an expert on ADD. You should write a book based on your expertise, you could make a lot of money and help a lot of people.
ADHD patient here.

I do agree with him. Most ADHD/ADD patients put too much focus on the disease, when the only thing that matters is to be willing to do something about it, asap!
