Posts like this are fantastic for the ADD community because they focus on strengths, not weaknesses - something we could all do more of.

However there's often too many people only see the negative side of ADD, and continually devalue and denigrate people with ADD. This is my way of showing the other side. When I mention that I'm an ADD coach in business networking meetings, I often have many people who are very sucessful entrepreneurs say either that they have ADD or they think they might have it.

It should not be a surprise when adults with ADD have great success. The tragedy is that society is not set up to foster the creativity and passion in order for more adults with ADD to succeed.
