You go to the campus computer...
...write down some information on one of the 4 notepads you always keep handy. Go to read some in Driven to Distraction, finishing with the section that says you shouldn't self-diagnose, get up to use the computer there, notice a notepad sitting there that happens to look a whole lot like yours, and realize it IS yours...ah forgetfulness... |

When you tell long anecdotes with no real punchline...
I am famous among my close friends for telling long, rambling stories without a discernable point. My friend Jen (who may have ADD, but hasn't been diagnosed) told a story like that recently and I looked at her and said, "That sounds like one of my stories." We cracked up. |

You lose the wireless phone so often....
that your techno-loving husband actually goes out and buys the old-fashioned kind of phone with the wire that attaches the two parts together so you can't leave it in the freezer. :) |

... you put your keys and wallet in one pocket ...
... then look for them in the other pocket, and wonder where you misplaced them. |

You know you're ADHD when...
In the time it took you to log in to ADDitude, you forgot what you were going to post in the first place. |

You know you're ADHD when...
Oh yeah! I remember! You know you're ADHD when you always have to read the last chapter of books first, because you get too impatient to wait until you're finished to find out how it ends. |

You know you're ADD when
You turn up to your long awaited diagnosis appointment with your son's school bag in your hand. You finally get the long awaited ritalin prescription you're been coveting and it takes three months to collect it. You have to repeatedly confess to your seven year old's teacher that you've lost their homework again. You work your butt off on hundreds of different projects and when someone asks you what you've been up to you can't think of one thing. |

Disorganized
You know you have ADD when every surface in you house is covered in paperwork, homework, mail and unpaid bills... because if you put anything away you're afraid you'll never find it. |

One more time...
I attempted a couple times to post a reply to this thread, but couldn't figure out what I'm doing wrong. You know you're ADD... 1) when you come home and find the milk in the cupboard, and the cereal in the refrigerator. 2) when you put something in a safe place so you don't lose it, but can't remember where that would be. 3) when you want to find an important document, you hesitate because it means spending a few hours "cleaning" (picking up the clutter) the house. |

My niece has done that...
She told me so herself. She has a good sense of humor, so she was laughing about it. While she hasn't been officially diagnosed, I'm quite sure she has it. Same for my brother and mom.
