OT: A.D.D.

[Gryphin]

Guys, I'll post more tomorrow. If it was not for the meds I take to counter ADD I would not have been able to read through the entire thread to this point.
It is not a lack of effort, It is not a lack of desire. Is not due to training by parents or anyone else.
Up threw 8th grade I never got better than a C in school.
In high school I flunked most science and math classes. I passed most classes which were interactive, (Spanish, sign, history, English, etc...).
All report cards said, "Gryphin shows such potential but is not working up to capacity"
It was not a lack of effort. Still many of you have seen I don't stick with long term projects very well. It is why I don't do PBW. I can't stay with something that long.

I am now takin Welbutrin. It has given me a huge amount of control over my life. I still can't do PBW type things but...More Latter
I would suggest anyone truly interested to look up a book: You Mean I'm not Lazy, Stupid, or Crazy?

That said, I do agree it is likely it is often misdiagnosed and mis treated. I am sure that some parrents use it for an excuse.
More later.

Another symptom: Impulsiveness.
