In Rob's defence I have a cousin with ADD and if I had not seen it in person I would agree that ADD was a load of crap too. I'm not so sure I would call it a disease as much as just an attitude problem, but whatever it is, it definatlly just couses the person to state his blunt opinion about whatever they want whenever they want, to who ever they want, and as long as things are going his way, he is easy to deal with but at the same time he is a landmine with a hair trigger( like someone else we all know here)waiting to be stepped on. Oh ya he's wicked smaat too.

I think that some cases are real and some are even extreme. However, I think that the educational system is using it as a "catch all" for behavioral disabilities. Again, it's never OUR fault. All social disabilities have to be blamed on something besides our own choices and abilities. IMO.
