Hi all! Im a high school senior (about to graduate Yay!!) and am just discovering that I probably have ADHD/ADD. My mentor brought up the option a few months ago and it totally surprised me, I never even would have thought about it. Then I began researching the symptoms, ended up here, took a few quizzes and looked through the forums and I totally agree with my mentor. I scored really high on the ADD quiz and I have been talking extensively to my mentor about how to deal with ADD and how to focus more (which my brain HATES Lol). She has ADD to so she really understands how to help deal with it. I have also been seeing a psychologist and will (hopefully) be seeing him for at least a little while to get an official diagnosis an some help with other things as well. I dont believe my parents understand the whole ADD thing, they are the "just sit down and make yourself do it" type and believe everything is a result of the lack of discipline. So I really want to be on here to learn as much as possible since I can't really talk at home about it. I am really excited to learn more and meet new people on here! Everyone seems so understanding of each other, it's a really accepting environment I love it!
So all of that was pretty much just to introduce myself and say hi, I can't wait to hear from some of you.
