Procrasination and forgetfulness are generally quite 'common' enough and I wasn't convinced that they were the 'defining' factors for having ADHD for myself.

In fact, it seems to be the other 'smaller' symptoms/or are they merely trends - that makes me feel that I do have ADHD (was diagnosed as well). Such as: losing my own train of thought to the point of interrupting myself in a conversation; forgetting what i want to say the moment I want to say it; tuning in to background conversations/music when talking to others; very sensitive to my senses (although I feel that I've actually learnt to tune that out); not able to follow conversations; not able to follow social cues (I actually bought a book to read on emotions/feelings before I learnt to emphatise with others, or at the very least, realised that other people may see things different from I do); ranting; sometimes an inability to sit still; unable to read without speed reading and missing out chunks of texts (i think i barely read all the posts above); starting a million different projects and never completing them.

sometimes i am afraid it is ajust a self fulfilling prophecy as I go through ADHD symptoms and tick yes to 90% of them.

oh yes, sorry - i've actually forgotten what I wanted to say in the first place...

oh i remember now - go read the book Driven to Distraction. might help. not sure how. but it might.
