Re: Famous People with ADHD

I heard Solange say that she does not really have ADHD but was making a joke when some interviewer was asking her about how many irons she had in the fire. The interviewer did not catch the joke and the rumor just took off from there.

I could use Justin over here this fine Saturday morning lol.

This is what Solange says on the source website

When singer Solange Knowles (little sister to Beyonce -- and mom to son Daniel) found out she had ADHD, she didn't believe it was a disorder. But Knowles said on HealthCentral.com she has high energy and that &quot;people think I'm high even when I'm sober.&quot;
