A lot of discussion in this thread is centered around whether ADHD is "real" or not.
When someone comes to me thinking that they might have ADHD I start by asking them how messed up their life is. How many jobs have you been through? How many colleges have you dropped out of? How many good relationships have you cycled through?
ADHD is a disorder and it can be debilitating. It's not about some 1% efficiency improvement at work. It's the difference between being able to function as an adult in society with a job or being homeless/in prison.
