**********************
These names collected from various sources, and accuracy is not guaranteed.
This list has nothing to do with the credibility, and/or the diagnosis of A.D.D. / A.D.H.D.
Low self-esteem, and the feeling of not "fitting in" to the real world is a common thread with ADD / A.D.H.D
This list demonstrates to ADD/ADHD'ers that, not only do they have a place in society, but their comrades have made immeasurable contributions to it.
Realizing instead that we are NOT "stupid or lazy" as some claim,
but may actually be those outstanding individuals of each passing generation.
When I first saw it, it did that for me.
