I have ADD. It's not like I'm not interested in the material, I exercise and I eat a fairly good diet. I am self-disciplined and wasn't spoiled by my parents nor do I eat too much sugar or have any of the character flaws attributed to potential causes for ADD symptoms. When not medicated, I feel unfocused and mentally scattered unless I am actively engaged in my work and sitting during a lecture and paying attention to what the dude says is more mentally draining, unmedicated, then spending the equivalent of time working on a HMMWV. In addition, no, I am not OCD, yes, I understand the material, however, not being able to focus on the topic makes learning it difficult.
I dont think ADD/ADHD is a learning disorder?
