I'm dealing with some serious skepticism from my parents. I'm eighteen and I have always had trouble focusing in school, I am seriously unproductive. so much so that I'm not graduating on time. I have taken I few good amount of test for add/adhd over the years and I've researched all the symptoms and it all points to me having these issues though a little less on the hyperactive side, I even took the test on here. the point is that I've been trying to convince my parents that i might have it and to at least go see with a professional before they blantantly deny my problems. they know I'm smart and think I'm just lazy, like my intelegence has something to do with it when it doesn't. and they also dissmiss it because they went and got me checked out when I was three and the docter said i didn't have it and I was just very curious and bright. but newsflash things can progress over time and i think three is a little young to get a difinitive answer. so i know some people might think i don't belong here because I haven't been formally diagnosed and i'm sorry about that. i just don't where else to voice these problems.
