However, in life and at work, there are many instances
where I need to do things that I don't find
particularly stimulating or interesting.
Yes! There is a school of thought that says ADD is more of a "personality type" than a "disability."
Generally I view it that way as well. But it sure is a disability when you actually have to do boring things - and who doesn't have to do boring things? I mean really... who doesn't spend a significant portion of their lives doing things that aren't particularly interesting?
And I'm generally in not in favor of treating myself as if I'm "disabled" in any way whatsoever - I don't expect less of myself because I have ADD. Hell, I also participate in sports even though I'm asthmatic and blind in one eye and my depth perception sucks.
