A. NO. ADD/ADHD is not a disease. This frame of thinking has been created by the way society looks at individuals who may possess a different way of being, thinking or in this case learning. ADD/ADHD is not caused by bad parenting or by the neighborhoods we have been raised in. It is a wonderful and unique gene passed on to us as a gift. Many famous people have ADD/ADHD such as Tommy Hilfiger (designer), Whoopi Goldberg (actress) and Richard Branson (Business Tycoon-Founder of virgin Airlines).
