Yeah, I get people who do not believe that I have it either. I was diagnosed when I was younger because I had behavioral problems in school with staying on task, paying attention, and other similar things that go along. Well, I fortunately am not taking medication now, and have not for years. Things have gotten better in that sense because I graduated college and have been proving everyone wrong for so long with doing things that people told me I would never do on time or ever accomplish. So for that reason, I can see where people might not know that I have it. However, I mention it sometimes, just as a little joke, and nobody believes me because I'm not hyper. That is the misconception about ADD. I'm sick of everyone assuming that you have to be hyperactive to have it.
