the fact is that ADHD is just over diagnosed, and beyond that many people who think they have it dont.

so many people think it just means you can't focus, but it's alot more.

you may get overaggrivated because you know you can do somthing, yet cant seem to get it done.

when you "switch tracks" or things dont go as expected you may become angry, because you finally got into a groove with what you were doing and you feel comfortable with it.

alot of these things happen to everyone, but the main difference is the edge you get when you have ADHD... you tend to snap at these times when other people might just get a little stressed

same thing with me, its why i try to lay back and not let things stress me out.

i have adopted a "fawk it" attitude ot deal with my problem.. like if i have homework to do and i dont want to do it i say forget it. cause i know if i do it i will become enraged...

yeh, but thats you. many others have other problems, IE the learning system doesnt work correctly for them.
people have different learning tendancies and you might have just gotten lucky...
as for me it is unbearable the crap i have to go thru to teach myself the material while still following the system of learning enforced by the schools i have gone to. the results come thru in my test grades, which are usualy high or even the highest, (last year for midterms i had recieved the highest grades on all midterms minus one class out of 6)

yet i had the lowest grades in those classes

:edit:
lost track of my point...

in these cases it might cause a person to litterally start to lose their mind, having to nearly do two times the work for the same classes. or to strain myself to do work that does nothing but return me ink on a paper proving i knew how to do it. where is the motivation, the more work you prove you can do the more work you go on to do, and the higher the stres, and blegh... i'm just pissed right now... i cant get this damned problem to work out right
