Telling an ADD person that they have to get used to distractions is like telling a person in a wheelchair to quit moaning and walk already.
Why is it so hard to believe that not everyone's brain works like yours? With ADD (and some kinds of autism), a conversation on TV across the room feels like it's being shouted in your ear. It is not physically possible to ignore. It can't be fixed with practice or willpower any more than a severed spinal cord can be.
