ADHD: "Coming up to Fitting Me"

The title of this CNN/AP article, "ADHD Adults Struggle to Focus," is pretty typical for mainstream articles on the subject, but what's different about this one is that it suggests that those of us with ADHD are actually adapting better to our increasingly busy lives, something I've known, personally, for a long time.

Barbara Eddy is used to swiftly "spinning" from task to task, from tending to her twisn, to her work, to her husband. It's in her nature as someone diagnosed with an attention deficit disorder.

So she feels right at home in this fast and fragmented age of cell phones, Googling, and hand-held e-mail.  "Society is finally coming up to fitting me" (says Eddings).
