Thanks, Secretum, the hyperfocus/lack of ability to focus "attention inconsistency" is especially intriguing to me! If you have any (readily available -- I know you are very busy) info on this, I'd definitely be interested. PM or whatever's easiest for you.

Most of what I know about ADHD I learned from Dr. Hallowell's book,
Driven to Distraction.
http://www.amazon.com/Driven-Distrac...3350768&sr=8-5 I'm almost positive that he mentions hyperfocus in there, though I don't remember how much detail he goes in to. If I see anything else about it, I'll either PM you and AniManiac, or I'll post a thread in this forum.

Is that not true of any two disorders though?
That two is worse that one?

That almost always is the case. Though, strangely enough, not in schizoaffective disorder. Schizoaffective disorder is diagnosed when a schizophrenic patient also has a mood disorder, like major depression or bipolar. For some baffling reason, adding a mood disorder predicts a better course for the schizophrenia.
