Yep, I can totally relate to the ADD thing. Though, I was the opposite -- shy and a daydreamer. I did go to college, and I actually thrived -- the course material was actually engaging and challenging -- but had some family stuff that was very chaotic, and never finished. I really kick myself for not finishing, and for exactly the same reason you cite.
Throughout my public school education, I got some bad messages from teachers & administrators who didn't read what was causing my challenges correctly. Years of therapy later, I realize I'm not "stupid", rather quite the opposite, and a vocational school would have been a great fit for me.
