To tell the truth, the poll question surprises me. Given the tendency to
introversion in many tech writers, I would have thought that Asperger
Syndrome and autism would be more common than ADD.
Of course, I'm putting aside the question of just how widespread such
conditions really are. These days, a moment's inattention is put down to
ADD, and a momentary twinge in the wrist to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome -- a
quickness to diagnose (and self-dramatize0 that trivializes genuine
concerns.
