ADHD/ADD Folks

[Nat]

I'm curious to know how many of us are out there. I think it's often a misunderstood thing - with people throwing the terms around who don't understand the definitions and with many denying it's an actual condition. Many people laughingly refer to their own "ADHD" or "ADD" when describing one or two occasional behaviors, but without any real knowledge of what it's like to live within an ADHD/ADD brain. In the past also, it was seen as a condition that went away in adulthood, but there's a growing understanding that the symptoms can morph in adulthood rather than go away. I'm going to post some more info in the following posts, but this is just the *getting this started* post. I'm pretty sure there must be others besides myself who live with this "disorder." I'm hoping you join in and contribute to this thread in whatever way you'd most enjoy.
