The recently deceased Kitty Petty compiled the most comprehensive list of known famous "Adds" of the present and past. Some of the Names above have been taken from this list
Kitty Petty, after her grandson was diagnosed with ADHD/LD, "vowed to help other parents identify these neurobiological syndromes as early as possible and obtain quality treatment".

She was also involved in administration and sponsorship of a variety of ADD-related research and supporting services, and helped build the largest CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit Disorder) chapter in the U.S.

We have a great deal to thank her for.
