I feel ya! I have no clue if I have it or not either. The online tests indicate that I exhibit ADD/ADHD like symptoms- but I don't trust myself. It's easy to pick the ADD/ADHD answer. And I feel like there are many things we don't know about ADD/ADHD.

I am also not sure if I really just can't focus (that's what it feels like) or maybe if I am just making an excuse for me being lazy.

But isn't being unmotivated another symptom of ADD/ADHD?

I dislike when I share about how I feel and my father in particular doesn't believe I have it (because I didn't exhibit it as a child).

But I think research needs to take a new look at ADD/ADHD. When I talk to people about it, they have this strict sort of boxed-in idea of ADD/ADHD. "If you didn't have it as a child, then you probably don't have it." I think I have to disagree. Knowing that the brain can change, I don't see how that is a definite thing.

Also what was your personality type as you were younger? There is the obvious ADD/ADHD type child, then there are the children whom many would not think to have ADD/ADHD.

For instance, when I was younger, I was the type that did very well in school (I enjoyed it tremendously). I was described as bright (teachers probably tell every parent that!!), intelligent, quiet/shy, introverted. I was also very creative. I loved playing music, taught myself theory, was always trying to begin a new craft. I think this is another type of description of a child with ADD/ADHD. Also, females are less likely to exhibit hyperactivity as a child

What kind of child were you? What can you remember?

You should research ADD/ADHD types. I believe I am the "inattentive type"...but aren't we all?
