Hi ACS,
I am relating to your post. My DH takes medication for ADD and it has changed our lives. I agree we should be looking at traits individually, but people like to sort and categorize. I thrive intellectually on complexity and details. It seems like a lot of people want simplicity.
I was diagnosed as ADHD as a child, however, I don't have it. I can see both sides.
We still don't have a great understanding of how the brain works because it's so complex.
I'll guess that everyone's brain is more different than the same and am glad to see modern medical science moving toward individualizing one's own "set-up" as opposed to trying to fit everyone into a few set categories of mental functioning.
