I could use masturbation as an example, if you always masturbate laying down, its much harder to orgasm standing up. We have emphasized a limited range acceptable of perception and therefore the rest of our minds have atrophied, this "ADD" as you call it, is just the zenith of this. But this can be overcome with things like meditation and concentration exersizes, or even just exposure to other stimulii, like interaction with people or something that requires your own creativity. Or you could always try programming or logic ;p
Again, this is just a pet theory of mine, I lack sufficient subjects and empircal evidence to push it any harder.

i've actually heard things very similar to this. if i dig anything up i'll let you know.
i've also heard that ADD is actually totally overdiagnosed and a good percentage of the kids that end up on meds have no actual, physical problems. a part of the hyperactivity and inability to concentrate in a school setting has to due with the cutting of recess time and physical education. kids eat tons of sugar and then aren't given the proper outlet for their energy. i don't know how true any of this is though.
