Learn about this disorder before expressing something this ignorant. I'm a geek who has been interested in academia my entire life but have been hindered in my educational performance as well as academic pursuits by ADD. I almost never found the subject matter in any of my school classes boring, but I couldn't pay attention to it. That is not to say that I should have been "changed" as a child, but had my disorder been diagnosed earlier I could have been HELPED and would have had more success.

wtf? You think kids have ADHD because school is boring??!!!!! It's something you're born with, not a result of maltreatment!!!!

thee is no living with it tried for 32 years to no avail. to control to live with to work around maybe its just a few of us but dealing witth this becomes null and void when it gets to a certain point

i am just so let down to see so much crap about adhd by people who do not have the disorder, now im 26 and im not a child i can describe vividly how adhd has affected my life and my ability's. in fact i have spent the last 5 years trying to find out why im so different. i cant tell you how many times ive felt so stressed out about simple things. that normal people deal with fine. the fact is some of us would love to be able to focus at work, or be able to work at all. i have had about 19 jobs

these comments are distracting!!!

Some comments posted here are about as useless as a third tit on a nun! Unless you've had to struggle with it, think/say what you want, it's reality and it sucks!

"...and, because there's something wrong with your brain chemistry, it's not uncommon..." and it cuts her off at 1:27.  Is it the end of the video or does she have more helpful things to say on ADHD and comorbidites? OH SO FRUSTRATING!!! :*(

Only the theorizing would have it that ADHD is genetic (congenital). In fact, there are many competing theories on ADHD, more or less consistent with this (to date) untestable hypothesis. I wonder how many children are diagnosed while on summer vacation?
