This is a forum for those who suffer from ADD so I can assure you most people posting here are dealing with "this kind of thing". Every persons symptoms are unique, not everyone is the same. The issues you mention are the more common symptoms, however, some suffer more than others with certain symptoms. But the ones you mention, although the more common ones, don't even put a dent into the struggles one with ADD has to endure, especially a older adult who has gone undiagnosed most of their adult life. In my case being diagnosed at 38 answered a lot of questions now at 53 I am still paying the high price of all those years of being called lazy, stupid, unmotivated, different, not like everyone else, the list is endless. A lifetime of failures, beatings, humiliation, bullied, disrespected and left out ripped my self esteem to shreds. Although being diagnosed was a relief and a big weight off my shoulders it came at an age where it has become to late to repair the damage and find success. I have learned that many of my ADD related traits are more of an asset unfortunately because I don't think or process information like so-called normal people I'm looked at as the "odd"one. Very few people have had the ability to recognize my abilities, sadly, none of them family.
