    It often appears that way in children, but obviously isn’t an actual indicator of intelligence.

    ADD discussions are full of the self diagnosed and people who are in wildly different positions on the ADD scale. Naturally a lot of people look for identity and it’s a thing to latch onto.

    So you were told you were smart constantly as a kid, or you have some ADD features and get the whole “ADD is my super power” people.

    Some with ADD also get that impulsivity issue around other people and make themselves look like bigger jackasses than they generally are.
