At one point, Millermoms had a list of celebrities who admitted being diagnosed with ADHD/LDs, but I'm not sure where that discussion thread is, so I'm starting another one.
It can be especially helpful/comforting to kids who find out that they've got a particular condition, that other "famous" people also have the same condition(s) and can still have successful adult lives/careers. (Personally, I wish these lists identified more individuals outside of the entertainment industry, but the ones on the list are names that people easily recognize. I guess I just hadn't heard about Justin Timberlake before.)
