I'm in the process of being diagnosed ADD, at 53. Also came as a surprise, although looking back I see there was definitely something going on (or not).
This thing about being lazy, stupid, and bad memory, seem to be a hallmark of ADD? The memory thing has really been getting to me for a long time. Like your SOS.!
