I am going to be blunt, the PP above you is mostly correct, but certain parts that deal with functions like ADHD and ADD are real.
It is our responsibility though. It takes those that do have it extra steps in order to reign in the problems that those have those problems. For ADHD simply do more exercise than a normal person can solve that since it drains ones energy more meaning that one is likely to pay closer attention from not moving around so much, and ADD the simplest is meditation(I am not talking about the OHm or whatever is popular, what I am talking about is doing exercise meditation where say you have an object that you balance in a hand, then the side of a hand, then to a finger[Trust me it is much harder, but more effective than what I heard doctors recommend{Do note though that these are for those that fall under the medium or lower ends of the extreme since the goal is to correct what the symptoms that are not caused by chemical imbalance}]).
That's one way, I find that lots of caffeine helps with it too (provided you have a day or two each week with no caffeine so you don't build up a tolerance to it). I was on a suppliment regiment for a while that helped with it too, so there's multiple avenues for attack on it (which is nice). For me, I never really had the hyperactivity side of things.
Main thing that rubs me the wrong way is when you say you have X and people automatically assume you're an idiot, can't focus, and need to have everything explained to you. The reality is ADD is all about learning how to leverage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocus and make it productive.
