Because ADHD/ADD impairs mostly the executive functions of the brain. One of those is the working memory, the one I was talking about.
I had to learn a lot about the field until I could really understand why I was failing at normal even when I knew I was not dumb to say the least... I wanted to do math+phys but I knew somehow I would get stuck when doing problems even if the theory comes easy for me...

Its really frustrating but at least now I know that my results are not because I am dumb. All my life thought otherwise and you believe you can't really do or succeed at anything so you don't even try, not even feeling to deserve any kind of self esteem.
Now ,knowing that at least even when the problem still there, I now found some other things that does not require that much of the things that I have impaired and now I am starting to get the results near the level of my real potential for the first time of my life.
Believing in you thanks to self-knowledge has been a game changer in that regard, over the span of two years I evolved from being the bullied dumb and spacey kid to being treated fairly and feeling more on control of my life, which is really satisfying.

Unfortunately none of the meds I tried (all of them) improved in any way those impairments , I am one of the lucky ones who don't... Yay! So the next year I will have to frop out from my cs degree (3rd) and the worst of all is that i did not found it as difficult as I thought so It feels bad to see yourself unable to do even that... Luckily I have learned a lot because I only had troubles doing exercises/problems but understanding them was quite easy desu.

>If you suspect you could have ADHD get checked for it. I was undieagnosed until now in univerity and everything that caused me lots of troubles now I know it was not really my fault.
> I have observed that high IQ and ADD related symtoms often do not respond to any kind of ADHD/ADD medication so I suspect it mus be somethig else.
