My son tends to do this, also.  I don't know if it is the ADD itself, or 
something separate.  Certainly my son has two problems that contribute to 
this behavior: he does not easily appreciate other people's emotions, body 
language, etc.; and he believes that wishing makes it so.  The former is 
definitely allied with ADD, although I have it without (apparently) the ADD; 
the latter may be unrelated.
