Re: OT: A.D.D.
ADD is quite common but often not diagnosed. I have a family member that surely had an ADD syndrome if you read his school grades (from the 1950s).
People with ADD cannot focus themselves to a thing for more then a short amount of time. Every little distortion will break their concentration. A "normal" person can ignore a mutter in a bar when he is talking to another person and won't notice it any longer. Not so an ADD person. It hears all the mutters and the person he is talking to the same (and loud!) and cannot concentrate for long.
