I was also diagnosed with ADHD as a child and twice as a teenager. Today I don't believe in non-material diseases anymore, but the point stands that people like you and I have this thing in common with the prolific daydreaming.

It's unfortunate it's characterized nowadays as a disease. I enjoy it a lot, and sometimes whole afternoons go by where I was lost in a daydream. I never need to take books or anything anywhere to keep me entertained during dead times as I know I can barely choose what thoughts will engulf my mind next.

Have you looked into Jungian types? Without having an opinion as to its validity, I can say reading a thorough INTP description made me realize that this is really not a disease and some people are just more prone to being this way. I've learned to accept it (by doing my own research as for what this is) and now I'm happy without any meds whatsoever.

In some creative professions, "daydreaming" fuels work output. Richard Branson has written about his dyslexia and how his business empire is built on his creative and strategic strengths, while operational weaknesses are delegated.

Thanks! I'll have to find that. Right now I have difficulty seeing how someone like me could become an entrepreneur.

The two can go together: https://www.google.com/#q=add+entrepreneur . One limitation of any label is that there are many sub-types within a labelled group of non-neurotypicals. The most important tool is a shared language to define common challenges and solution strategies.
