glad you are getting the test
hopefully it will explain whats really going on - the psychologist i talked to seemed really confident in the results for me... feel much better accepting his diagnosis than the last few 15 min evaluations i had with pdoc (especially that bipolar dx)
when i was in school i was in advanced classes... was usually a straight a student but would get the random D or C because of ... well who knows - guess i just wasnt paying attention or something...
but because of the other things i have going on i ended up screwing up - grades went from As to Ds and i dropped out because i was overwhelmed... tried homeschooling for some years but lost motivation on that too
kind of wished that i could of gotten help as a kid so that maybe i wouldn't of made so many... mistakes i guess...
guess the main thing to keep in mind is that it can be difficult to diagnos ADHD...
i was reading about it the other day, i think they called it an "diagnosis of exclusion" meaning that they go through the list and try to see if it is anything else before diagnosing adhd - and if they cant pin it on something else directly then you get the diagnosis?

A diagnosis of exclusion (per exclusionem) is a diagnosis of a medical condition reached by a process of elimination, which may be necessary if presence cannot be established with complete confidence from history, examination or testing.

so hopefully this complete evaluation will narrow it down and pinpoint exactly whats going on...
he diagnosed me with somatization disorder and i had never even heard of that before :/ so maybe even if its not adhd - maybe can help you find some relief
