Sounds like you really do need to get the testing done, if only for your own satisfaction. Then, if you do, you can get the treatment and/or medication you need. Okay?

I have decided conclusively to have the testing done. I am not willing to sit, not knowing whether I have ADD or any learning disability. I do not know whether or not my insurance will cover ADD assessment. I suppose that I should check. I guess that gives me a good incentive to stay with my current job until the testing is complete if it does. It is possible that my mother would be willing to pay for some or all of the testing if necessary. I know that if I was diagnosed, my pdoc would make certain I got the treatment and/or medication I need.
