I think you're so far off in your definition of ADD as to be
ridiculous. Not having ADD does not mean you're going to be focused
100% of the time. It's a lot like saying that people without
depression are never sad. (But, you probably don't believe depression
is real, either.)

yeah, to refocus -- the primary care doctor will often diagnose it in
children. In adults they seem to like for a psychiatrist to weigh in.
