For hackers, the best thing about ADHD is hyperfocus, which is a lesser-known, but common symptom of ADHD. Hyperfocus is the tendency "to focus very intently. [...] At times, the focus is so strong that they become oblivious to the world around them." <a href="http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/612.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/612.html</a><p>Like when you happily program for 12 hours straight, forgetting to eat lunch and dinner. Sound familiar?

Diagnosing children starting at the very young age of four years and prescribing them drugs for ADHD is what's ridiculous.
