Like a supernova, Thomas Apple has been a star and he has self-destructed. He was Nasdaq's vice president of marketing for 11 years. He developed executive program models for major corporations. He's an inventor, a risk-taker, a guy who knows how to get it done. But he is also impulsive, hurried, outspoken, distractible and disorganized. He's been divorced twice, walked off the job when it penned him in and, until a few years ago, this 48-year-old entrepreneur didn't understand why.
Now he knows. Apple has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, a neurobiological disorder that affects about 3% to 5% of children and 2% to 4% of adults. But like many adults with ADHD, Apple's problems went undetected during his childhood.
