After a few decades in field of ADHD treatment the big lesson is adult ADHD presents in numerous ways, it's risky to generalize and easy to misconstrue the impact of having the real, full-blown form of the condition. The article speaks of entrepreneurial tendencies among ADHD individuals, but I admit evaluating the claim based on the data given was difficult. I didn't have the time required to make sense of the opaque presentation. However, does appear sampling biases were likely since subjects were obtained from ADHD support groups, where attendees are likely not representative of the entire ADHD population. Furthermore, it's not clear what, if any, diagnostic processes were used to determine ADHD status, thus the sample probably a "mixed bag" and hard to know which populations conclusions apply to. There is a major difference between vernacular usage of "ADD", and the plight of seriously affected individuals that come to clinical attention. As I apply the term, ADHD is not a minor or trivial condition, the data show it's associated with increased health risks, comorbid psychiatric disorders, as well as worse outcomes in social and occupational achievement. Certainly it's worth pointing out that having ADHD does not mean lack of abilities or talents. It's always the goal to enable developing talents, including in the entrepreneurial realm. In reality, the problem is having ADHD is more likely than not to impede reaching that goal. The science literature on ADHD has repeatedly shown decreased success in important quality-of-life arenas, e.g., greater rates of divorce, less educational achievement, higher rates of unemployment, poorer driving records. OTOH when the right treatment is provided, ADHD individuals can have a better outcome. The "gold standard" is functioning in a way that's "indistinguishable from normal". It may not be easy to achieve, though I've seen it happen in, well, a lot of cases.
