ALL of my family has some type of ADD or OCD, but they almost all are successful business owners. I have been told that I am extremely functional for "having" Schizoaffective and OCD, by my pdoc. I agree with junkDNA. I know think that although genetics definitely play a part, the way you see the world as a child, makes a difference too... bigtime. As I said, my family has ADD/OCD, and there are about 100 of us (immediate family), but most of us function well. TBH, about 65% have ADD or OCD. My wife and I chose to wait until I could get my symptoms under complete control, before we decide to have a child.
