I sincerly hope this has not been posted before, if it has, I apologize.
I've heard that NF's often get diagnosed with ADD. Apparently this is because most systems (such as work environments and school) are set up more for ESTX types or something of the like and the NF behavior is just too foreign to this system, so people have created something to try to "fix" these people. Essentially, many beleive ADD is not a legitimate disorder at all.
A lot of people tell me I have much less ADD than most people, yet when I look at a list of ADD symptoms, especially the ones related to school settings and work, I fit almost all of them, but I know I couldn't possibly actually have any disorder as, when I work on my own time and my own terms, I get a lot of very good work down on things I care about.
What are you're thoughts on NF's and ADD?
