Right again.
Most adults with AD/HD have co-morbidities, like anxiety, depression, substance abuse, etc. Most striking is that approx. 70% of inmates have untreated AD/HD.
Something to think about when we refuse to accept the diagnosis in our children.

Excellent observation. That would also explain why so many parents of ADD kids have a tough time getting them off the computer and giving them more structured activities.
AD/HD is a highly inherited condition- over 50% of adults with AD/HD will have one or more kids with AD/HD. When you have multiple family members with AD/HD, it's quite a challenge to get everyone focused, organized, etc.
