I have ADD and I can tell you most of what your saying doesn't even apply. There are lots of people who just have ADD or just have ADHD. I am one of them, while sometimes yes there are other disabilities that come into play that can't be the only reason that ADD and ADHD comes to pass. I don't have OCD or Dyslexia. I read things perfectly fine and the things that distract me aren't always imperfections. There are lots of other symptoms you aren't accounting for, like the inability to complete tasks. I am a writer and quite often I will start a book and have this awesome boost of inspiration and it will drive me for a good amount of time but all the sudden I will loose interest in that idea in favor of a completely new one. It's really bad I have an entire box of unfinished stories and even now I can't finish even one of them because the inspiration just isn't there anymore. Same with drawing, and these things might seem minor, if it wasn't in such a vast amount it would be normal but where does that fit in with your theory? I've had talks with therapists they agree it has to do with my ADD. I was always really great in school, I understood the material up until college really. My only setback was did I do the homework and did I keep my attention on the teacher during the actual explanations.
I dont think ADD/ADHD is a learning disorder?
