Answers:

ADD is real. People need to do their research...ADD makes it hard for a person to concentrate. They can't sit still, they need to do more than just one thing at a time. It's not that they're stupid, but their mind is constantly racing which makes it hard for them to settle down. To experience it for yourself, try putting on some loud music using a set of headphones and reading a book while understanding what you're reading at the same time. And in reference to the last answer about the daughter being diagnosed at 25, I was just diagnosed as well at 26 and I too did very well in school. My problem is that I can't sit still when someone is talking in a lecture for example. I get bored and start shaking my leg and doodling or writing letters. There really is no way to tell for some people especially if they do well academically.
