If you are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, you know that it can be a very complicated and personal disorder.
A quick note: ADD/ADHD is a neurological disorder characterized by difficulty sustaining attention, lack of self-control, and impaired working memory. It's now more often classified in medical literature as attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but lots of people (including some doctors) still refer to it as ADD. We will refer to it as ADD/ADHD in this article.

So you may have also had to deal with some judgement or stereotypes from people who don't understand ADD/ADHD.
