I am 24 and have never suffered from ADD or ADHD as a child. I have heard that there is an adult side to this disorder, can you develop ADD later in life? When I was younger I could sit and read books for hours at a time and I never had a problem paying attention in class or anything like that. Now as I am getting older it seems like I am having more problems focusing. I am trying to study for my finals this week and I will read a paragraph and then realize I have been staring into space for a few minutes. I will read a paragraph or so and then get up and go do something else. I am not purposely procrastinating, it's just like I can stay focused on anything for too long. I have noticed that my attention span is pretty short, I usually can't pay attention to anything longer than an hour or so. Most of my classes are either 50 minutes or an hour and fifteen minutes so usually I am good with my classes for the most part. However, I hardly ever watch movies I have seen before because I can't stay focused on them and I do not play board games typically either because I just can't stay focused/interested for long enough to finish the game. Those of you out there that know anything about adult ADD, are these possible symptoms I am experiencing, or am I just experiencing a lack of focus or disinterest or being paranoid or something? Thanks.
