Greetings and salutations! I was diagnosed around age 9 and now I'm 38. I have learned a few things in my search for information on ADHD. One with ADD/ADHD can get addicted to caffeine. Heck, most of the medications for it are stimulants! And I found out that stress 'feeds' the condition, making the symptoms pronounced under the situation. So, as it probably has come to your notice, you are not alone! Your descriptons of yourself fit me and others all too well.
