I'm a 17 year old girl, and I think it is pretty likely that I have ADD. I've always been very disorganized, and I can't pay attention to lectures at school, and I always find my self noticing that someone is talking to me like half way through the sentence. At school, I feel like it always turns out I've missed something, even when I thought I was paying attention, like when the test is.

The thing is though, I've never been taken for any kind of testing, because I was a well behaved kid, and my grades aren't that bad. Ok thats not true; In elementary school, the school's reading specialist said I had an auditory processing disorder, and my mom took me to some kind of therapist a few times. But then she decided that the reading specialist diagnosed every kid with something, so it didn't count.

I think I've pretty much been able to fly under the radar, because I have a 3.4. (I think what saves most of my grades is that I'm good a memorizing) I got a 2100-ish on the sat's, and I think that I could have much better grades if I could pay attention to lectures.

So the question in all this is: Would getting evaluated do any good? The whole point would be that I could get medication which would potentially help. What usual happens? Would they prescribe me anything? And does medication even work?
Thanks for reading all that, and answering if you do.
