Have you ever been diagnosed with ADD?
 
Constantly hearing about this or reading it in the news made me want to ask the question.  So do you?

Yup!   I am an adult that had pretty severe ADHD as a child and lost the H as I grew up.  I'm no longer hyper, but I still have the attention span of a hampster.

I dont tjink that I........ what was the question?
 
 
 
 
Seriously though, I have never been diagnosed, I just think that my lack of memory is due to my misspent youth.

Is there a "maybe" option? I have never been diagnosed but i certainly have an abnormally short attention span.

I have had several teachers suggest that I get tested for it, but I have never gone through with it. I know that I do have a hard time paying attention to most things for very long. In college, I won't take any classes that are more than an hour long because I can't even pay attention that long in class.
 
So, it's been suggested that I might have it, but I don't actually know.

This is a small discription, found it though "google"
 
ADD/ADHD is a neurological disorder. According to the National Institute of Health, between 3% and 5% of the population in this country are affected by ADD/ADHD. The major symptoms of the disorder are distractibility, forgetfulness, inability to concentrate, poor attention span and impulsiveness.

I dont have it, but my nice and nephew have it, and the young boy I take care of definitely has it.
 
Now, you wanna do a poll on OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and I am definitely there
