I have a husband, one daughter (20years) and one son (17 years) all of whom have ADHD. I found your post interesting because they all have such different levels of ability. My husband and son excell at sports and other activities that require good gross motor skills, and they are both poor at fine motor skilled activities. (My son's kindergarden teacher complained that he couldn't cut and paste, and he still isn't much good at it.) My daughter is an accomplished artist and dancer and a good typist, while both my son and my husband still hunt and peck.
Their traits are different in other ways too, my daughter's hyperactivity manifests mostly internally, her thoughts race and she is overly verbal, while my husband and son have trouble sitting still a lot more. By the way, my husband takes ritalin, my daughter takes only wellbutrin and my son copes without meds.
Your post has really got me thinking.
Hope this helps.
