When I was in highschool, used to look down on people that didn’t complete their assignments or seemed to have trouble focusing. I honestly though that they were lazy, and those that claimed ADD were just hiding behind that excuse. I guess karma wanted to teach me a lesson and decided to put me in the very small percentage of ADD people who develop it during adulthood. How funny is that? I struggle now with following through with long term projects as I dwell on details or lose focus quickly. It is a little petty of me to compare ADD to any ‘real’ handicaps but it has been a humbling experience for me as I have had to rearrange my lifestyle and develop coping skills to deal with it.
