So I am a 13 year old male (if 13 is below the age limit on this site, please let me know and I will leave) and I apologize for any typos. But anyways I believe I have ADD. (No hyperactivity) I seemed smart in elementary school but now that I am in middle school, stuff has been going downhill. I can't pay attention in class unless it is lab day in science, or other fun stuff. If it is boring, I just space off and go deep into thought. If something requires a ton of mental effort, I just sit there for five minutes and then I finally start doing the problem really slowly. I also go to the kitchen and for some reason I bring my Xbox controller with me from my room when my mom calls. Then I leave it there, look for my controller, realize I left it in the kitchen, go to get it from the kitchen, and come back to my room with anything BUT my controller. I also am a procrastinator. I often forget to do my homework as well. I have not had my IQ tested, but my friends often say I'm too smart and should have gone to the "gifted" people school. My parents don't believe me because my sister thought she had ADD but didn't, but I am nothing like my sister and I suspect a few of my relatives have the hyperactivity type. I think I said this already, but I think I have INNATTENTIVE ADHD. I also have a large vocabulary for my age and read at 1000 wpm ( I know...) If that helps at all.
