“Zoning out is one of the more common warning signs of ADHD in both children and adults. Zoning out in conversations with family, or meetings at work are a reflection of attention issues, which is a leading sign in the diagnosis of ADHD.”
I was reminded that I did/do this. I first did this when I was young, maybe like 6 y/o. I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. When I bring it up to psy’s, they dismiss me. My one son did get diagnosed, but it’s very mild. I do fit much of the criteria. I’ve been an underachiever my whole life...except when I wanted to do something. Then I’ve been a high achiever, but then bored with it, I quit. So many diagnoses overlap in traits. Hyperactivity is definitely present in my FOO. IMHO, it is undiagnosed ADHD that drives so much of the dysfunction. How can a family get along who many of them have ADHD? There are other traits that mimic (or are) other disorders. __________________ "And don't say it hasn't been a little slice of heaven, 'cause it hasn't!" . About Me--T |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
