I think many people can handle their ADD differently. if you don't want to be medicated it's understandable. It is scary road, when I was reading about all the medications before I visited my Psychiatrist most of the stuff was nothing but about their side-effects. Just keep in mind that if your ADD is getting in the way of everyday life then it might be a good idea to get medication.
If you choose not to be medicated start reading self-help books. There is one here in the US that is very good, very helpful and comes from two women with ADD. "You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!" the updated edition has a blue cover.
Anyways, good luck
P.S. I also took the test I scored a 37. Innatention subscale : 20. Hyperactivity and impulsivity score : 17 Also, just because one of the symptoms isn't present doesn't mean that you don't have it. It's only one that shows up most of the time.
