Hi,
I was diagnosed this year. I am 22 years old. I just took the test on the Web site and scored in the fifties but I have almost all of the descriptors that the diagnosis is based on when you go to a doctor. I've had a much harder time dealing with it than I expected because, like many people on this site, I had suspected that I had it for a while. Also, unlike a lot of people, the way it affects my life is more subtle. Which made it hard to decide whether to take meds (I am still deciding). I found a frustrating lack of information about ADD in adults on the Web so I started my own site, a blog which you can see here: A Little Spark of Madness, my ADD blog

Please read the posts about getting diagnosed, I think it's important to know that the emotional effects of a diagnosis are normal. I have been on a hiatus from writing posts as I get adjusted to post-college life, but if there is something you would like to see there or if anyone would like to collabarate on the blog, please let me know. You can email me at the email listed on my blog or you can leave a comment.

Good luck. Find a doctor you are comfortable with. You need to be comfortable telling her about your life and your fears so don't be nervous about deciding to switch doctors until you find the right one.

Also, don't let people tell you you are sub par, especiually if you have been happy with your performance in life up until now.
