Amen. It's funny how as a society we've come to accept certain mental issues as things rooted in brain chemistry and others are still "willpower" issues; issues of personal quality.
I think that at this point, nearly everybody in the civilized world accepts dyslexia as a neurological thing and not a issue of "willpower" or low intelligence. It wasn't always that way, though - that's a pretty recent development.
I hope we can see (and contribute to) ADHD getting there in our lifetimes.
