I don't think it's fair to conclude "some people just don't like school" => "ADD doesn't exist".
I'm a graduate student working on my PhD in physics. Physics and astronomy are my lifelong passions, and is now my career. Nevertheless, my attention issues have prevented me from reading even a few pages of a textbook in a sitting. Isn't it just silly to not be able to sit and read about my favorite things.
After dropping out of undergrad, and then eventually graduating by with pretty sub-par grades, I was diagnosed with ADD and started taking medication. At my current academic level, I can't squeeze by on just wit alone; it requires a lot of focus.
What you're suggesting is that I should just drop my lifelong passion and head out Californee-way for some internet jobs.
