ADD (not same as ADHD) people can still be highly functional and very creative, ever more so than "normal" people......ADD is more common for adults, as many of us are past the "hyper" early teenage years.
But, the bottom line is, we age and there is cognitive decline, period.....dont let the media, or motivational speeches or doctors and meds fool you into thinking that aging cant affect you, it will, it can be slowed down, but is just a fact.....you wont be able to cope with as much as someone 20 or 30 years younger......so adjust your workload as you age (and your expectations).
