I don't think I have ADD, I really looked very closely at that when I was in college and I really didn't fit the disorder. I think it was from trauma. One of the other things that I remember from Kindergarten was for "Show in Tell", as usual I didn't bring or have anything to say this one time. The teacher came down on me and told me that I had to share something since I didn't bring anything. I looked up at her and told her, "Last night my Daddy beat up my Mommy". She was shocked and I don't think she ever pushed me to take part again. My father had us totally isolated from everyone. The day I walked into Kindergarten I freaked out because I had no idea there we so many kids my age.
