My friends were discussing about it the other day so as usual I got interested and went online to research more about ADHD (just out of interest) and somehow all the symtoms and descriptions seems to fit me so I am wondering whether I really have it or not because I don't seem to have had any major problems in my life before.

Just that I really could not concentrate, I do not listen in class (when I was 16 I would just walk around the class when made to stand at the back, even when the teacher is talking. And it never occured to me not to do that), and I used to get into a lot of trouble for not doing homework..

I don't remember but many people told me that I am a kinda trouble maker in school but it was still not that bad.

I also have trouble finishing any sort of projects I started with and I really have lots of ideas for lots of stuff I wanted to do but never got around to finish doing them.

Other stuff that I had read that seems to hit home is that, I can drift off and not finish my sentences for no right of reason, I drift off when people/teachers/friends are talking and I do not remember what people actually say. My mother used to say it is because I have failed to actually CARE what people are saying and that is why I dont listen.

But I've realised that even when I am really intersted in what is being said, I'd still THINK that I am listening when I am actually thinking about other things.

I also say a lot of rude things, even to strangers, without thinking and do a lot of things on impulse.

Many people say that I am hyperactive though I never really felt I am unless I ate sugar-high food/cafaine and then I'd get really high (I once got so high on NOTHING people even thought I was drunk when I am not). I can also function perfectly well sleeping only 1/2 hours a day for a few days until maybe the 3/4th day when I would start to get a litle tired but compared to other people who stayed up a night, I am still fairly high.

But I never felt like what I seem to read, of how people not being able to fit into society and such. Another thing is that I have OCD and I hate dirt etc. but I am a naturally messy person. I am neat, but still not that neat and my whole character seems to just contradict itself.

I don't really remember much of my childhood though because for some reason, I seemed to read a lot as a child though I used to read many books at one time even then. As I got older I got addicted to the computer but I realised the other day that even so I have at least 5/6 programs all on at one time and I can surf around 10 web browsers at one go.. but when I am doing such things I do not shake legs, play with pens as I do usually..

So I am not really sure if I really have ADHD though my friends say that I probably have. Just that it never seemed to be a problem to me except that I can never settle down to read my school books because I am always distracted.. (like I am supposed to be doing homework now but instead I am surfing the net for random stuff)

With all your experiences, do you think I might actually have it?
