I am very careful about who I tell I have ADD. Many people still dont believe in it. Some have treated me different in the past so now I am careful. I am 43. I was dx'd back in 2000. When I mentioned it back then to my mom. She was like "bull loney, thats ridiculous. theres no such thing. " Nowadays she knows she is and we laugh about all the adventures we always end up having and vent about the ones that werent fun.
