My daughter has ADD, so she is stupid and a failure right?

Obviously you don't understand ADHD very well.
No where on any of my clinical notes is 'being stupid' or 'being a failure' a symptom of ADHD nor a consequence of ADHD.
If you are being geniune I suggest that you talk to your family doctor or therapist about the nature or course of ADHD.
But since no doctor of therapist I know would refer to ADHD by its old name of ADD, I'm not sure if your daughter has even been evaluated correctly.

You may be laughing your head off at your question but my daughter has dyslexia and making fun of kids with problems offended me. Jerk.

Not necessarily. My sister ADHD, not so good at school. I have ADD, but am in every honors class they offer, and I take four languages. ADD does not mean they are stupid or a failure, they just need to focus ad have different learning techniques.
