I don't know if I'm just lucky or what, but I have learned to channel the ADD. I multi task a lot, and it kind of gives me drive... Like, I have 4 jobs, hold an exec posistion, take a full course load and still have plenty of time for friends. Since I have trouble focusing, doing EVERYTHING helps me. It gives me a constant change of pace...
Sometimes, it sucks though. Before (sometimes during) tests, I get anxiety attacks because either I can't focus to study or I can't focus to take the test. I skip things a lot, too. Such as on scantrons or whatever I'll jump around and answer different questions in the wrong space or on essay tests, I'll completely skip over questions. Luckily, my professors understand and most of them are proud that I am able to do so well without medication.
