Before I was diagnosed and medicated I flunked out of college, my marriage was strained, and I couldn't hold down a job. I am much more thoughtful, intelligent, well-spoken, creative, and happier on my medication.

I acknowledge that my experience might not apply to everyone but your comment is disregarding people with ADHD that want to be, well, part of society.
