When I was told at 50 years old that I had ADD, it really made me feel less, angry, and other emotions. After all, I had been a decorated infantry soldier in Vietnam, attended 7 years of grad and post grad studies, and had been promoted beyond my expectations within my field. Feeling low, I didn't offer any contradiction of the doctor"s findings. Being a product of the late 60's, having used many drugs in my youth, what we called speed was one of them.
