Both my son and I have ADD.  Bright children with ADD can get by with this learning disorder and develop compensatory skills to get through daily activities, thus many are not diagnosed.  Living with ADD is like being in a room with thousands of people constantly, everthing is distracting and overwhelming.  It takes time to organize your thoughts and often times it feels as though you can not follow simple instruction with more than one or two directions.  That said, a person with ADD can also become hyper focused  on activities that they love.  If you need direction on how you can best deal with his distractions, reply to this msg.
