ADD is not a nervous tic or neurologically identifiable problem like tourettes is, it's a purely mental one. The human brain is vastly complex and people can and have induce things on the mind where there is none in people, examples of such include Mass Hysteria - people gettting sick at the same time, yet only a few actually carry the illness, the placebo effect, police interrogation experiments gaslighting people into believing they actually committed crimes even if they couldn't have and did not and even schizophrenia. Moreover adult ADHD/ADD can "develop" even if they did not have it as children, and there is no definite method of determining any genetic predisposition for people to develop it. On top of that it is an admitted fact that stress and other factors can massively increase ADD symptoms (even in children/teens not displaying them), therefore logically speaking ADD can be induced and given the lack of proper research on the subject, is likely more than just a "born-with" issue. This isn't like autism, that actually has concrete symptoms that go beyond, "slightly elevated abnormality/extremality of a behavioural subset"
TL;DR: Use your head, smartasses and stop taking bourg medicine at face value if you observe something that may contradict this.
