I have ADD but if SCT would become a diagnosis I would get that one. Irks me though, makes it sound like I'm a slug or something. Bleh.

I actually like it better to say I am hypoactive. The same condition can sometimes give opposite symptoms and still be the same, sort of. Some people are hyperactive, I am hypoactive.

When I think of it, I also dislike the term ADD, since it is a school diagnosis, like how well can you listen to your teacher. When in fact ADD is about executive functions. I'd rather have it named after that instead.

I take a long time processing things, I do things quite slowly and tire easily. I'm not sure my brain is sluggish though, it really does not feel that way!
