It's especially hard for women to figure out because we're usually the inattentive type as opposed to the classic, boucing off the walls hyperactive type. A list of symptoms is:
Often does not give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, work, or other activities.
Often has trouble keeping attention on tasks or play activities.
Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly.
Often does not follow instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace (not due to oppositional behavior or failure to understand instructions).
Often has trouble organizing activities.
Often avoids, dislikes, or doesn't want to do things that take a lot of mental effort for a long period of time (such as schoolwork or homework).
Often loses things needed for tasks and activities (e.g. toys, school assignments, pencils, books, or tools).
Is often easily distracted.
Is often forgetful in daily activities
Just a thought :)
Been there, done that... probably a hundred times (sneaks another American Spirit out of her "last pack") Hey, these are the healthy cigarettes! :4:Quote:

We talk about it as instructor/student but not as D/s. A spanking for those chocolate chip cookies beats the hell out of 50 push ups too!
Huh, I do all of those things but I always chaulked it up to my personality. I think I should look into this, can't hurt. I'm pretty sure the university I attend has free screening for that sort of thing. Thanks for the tip!Quote:

Dr. Amen's site - he's written a really good book on ADD. They also have a test you can take to help narrow down if you might have it
http://www.brainplace.com/bp/
...Uuuuuuuuhhhh... There's a couple other good sites I can't remember but I'll see if I can find them at work tomorrow. Also, the book "Scattered: How Attention Deficit Disorder Originates And What You Can Do About It" by Gabor Mate (http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N2335....rd=3517971875?) is excellent - I got a real "Ah HAH!" feeling from reading about his theory that people develop ADD because they tend to be more sensitive than other infants and they don't get their "attachment needs" (basically love hunger needs) met when they're infants. This leads to a deep, profound feeling of unworthiness and unlovability. Made so much better because we're always screwing up, ya know!
Anyway, hope this helps. Ever since I realized I have ADD, and feeling how much of my life I've wasted on this stupid thing, I'm a woman on a mission to reach others in my position.
Good luck! :)
Yes. It was a joke :)Quote:

www.adult-adhd.com
www.doreka.com/add
www.add.org
www.samgoldstein.com
The last is the website of a doctor who does a lot of work with ADHD in children and adults - you can find a lot of good articles on ADD in the articles section.
