My social ability has actually improved (I don't feel nearly as socially awkward as I used to; I don't worry about trying to over think of the 'perfect' thing to say, only to have the appropriate moment to say such things pass before I even get a chance to say a single thing).

That comment alone makes me want to go on meds. haha I can relate all too well to thinking of the perfect thing to say two topic changes too late. I'm not daignosed yet. I had my intake last week and my testing is scheduled for Nov. 19. Urgh, soo far away. I'm keeping a count down to keep me going.
I have heard of the "You Mean I'm not lazy, stupid or crazy" book, but I have not read it. I'm also a college student. I found some helpful strategies for dealing with my symptoms (can't say ADHD without the diagnosis, uggh why can't i just get tested now!) in the college environment in the book "Succeeding in College with Attention Deficit Disorders: Issues & Strategies for Students, Counselors, & Educators." by Jennifer S. Bramer, Ph.D. It was published in '96 so it still refers to ADHD as ADD, but the strategies and personal accounts are not affected by the fact it's over a decade old.
If I ever glimpse through the other book. I'll let you know what I think.
