What is A.D.D.?

What is ADD?
Attention Deficit Disorder is a syndrome (collection of symptoms) of the triad (three components) of the core symptoms consisting of (1) Distractibility (or inattention) (inattentive to what you’re working on; absent minded; not paying attention to people around you; multi-tasking; looking to the environment for cues) (2) Impulsivity (do first, think later; quick decision; little time to think it through) and (3) Restlessness (hyperactivity; can’t sit still; little patience; easily frustrated; daydreamer; feelings of “illusion of Grandeur”,).

The DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual – 4th edition) can be found at your library or bookstore. This will give a more detailed explanation of ADD and all its symptoms from the medical point of view.
One of my main goals is to ask the audience to view ADD as a “trait” rather than a true “disorder”. As such, this “disorder” may or may not require “pharmaceutical medication” to “cure” the disorder. So, keep an open mind and find the solution that works best for you.
