We are lucky for the comic title, since otherwise I wouldn't be so sure this only apply to people with ADD ... in current world, there are so many things wanting your attention that they may overhelm even normal people (of course not so easily). --Hkmaly (talk) 08:21, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

I agree. You don't have to be ADD to relate. Then again, doesn't everyone who isn't autistic have some amount of attention deficit? It seems like everyone fits under one label or the other these days. --138.67.184.237 21:33, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

I think a psychiatrist wants your money. So many kids are given those labels as an excuse for parents or teachers not teaching right and for laziness on the kid's part. I'm not saying that's you, but it might be. And no employer is going to lower expectations just because you think differently. Whether the 'disorder' is there or not, make the most of your mind and enjoy a productive life to the best of your abilities. I've actually found my ADD to increase my academic ability, because I use it like a boat adjusts the sails. Plus I'm learning how to let some things go.108.162.216.31 09:58, 20 November 2013 (UTC)Dartania
