Hi Don,
There are many types and degrees of ADD. I used to think it was a hyper kid thing.
My son is ADHD and I am ADD. It's strange how the same meds work for both of us.... tho currently neither one of us are taking anything.
I learned a ton about ADD just by reading books. " Driven to distraction" is a good one!
You will feel more comfortable when you know more about it.
good luck
