Do you have Attention Deficit Disorder?

ADHD means Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder.   Kids who are diagnosed with this disorder are usually hyperactive.   As adults,  we don’t have this hypearctivity anymore instead it is associated with our being restlessness and fidgety sometimes.   Adults having this issue may encounter problems at work and relationship.   The trouble at work may arise when the employee with this disorder will  go to work late or may not be able to meet deadlines constantly. In a relationship, the adults with ADD are often frantic and messy which are quite annoying to some.

Anyway, do you like to find out if you are an adult with ADD?  Or just play along who knows you might find this interesting.

Disclaimer:  If you suspect that you are adult with ADD and you feel you need this to be addressed to you can always consult specialist with this disorder to help you out.

  1. i was part (as a teacher) of the original Case Western adhd study many years ago. That is the study that created the overall ADHD/ADD spectrum.

    Everyone is on that spectrum to a degree. This is a great awareness piece!!!

    • ohh sorry about the word disorder but that’s the only term I can use. Anyway, adults who know how to handle this may or who have handled this over the years were able to make it and some have used this into their advantage.

        • yes, and really if it is bothersome to some people about this condition they can always see professional help and intervention. but for some adults who have overcome to the situation it is just a matter of addressing to the problem, for example, forgetfulness, just have a post it or board to write on things

    • Though I don’t intend to diagnose people, these are the notable characteristics of the adults with ADD. Adults who are accepting the facts able to overcome and make use of these characteristics to improve themselves.
