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.

YKYADDW...

It's 2:30 AM and you're just coming down from three hours of hyperfocus on the Internet instead of making yourself go to bed...:)

Hi all! This is my first post. I just got diagnosed a couple of weeks ago...38 year old female. I don't have any children with the condition, just read a magazine article that listed symptoms of something that felt eerily familiar. I'm still convinced my LCSW is following me around taking notes...funny feeling to find out that you're sort of the poster child for the list of symptoms when you're almost 40! But I know I'm not alone!

Looking forward to chatting with y'all more!

Add when...

Your spouse asks you for a cup of water and you go and make a peanut butter sandwich for yourself...

Happens all the time.

You spend almost an hour looking for your favorite watch, give up, and grab another watch, and pull up your long sleeve to put the watch on, and then stare for a few minutes.

Because your favorite watch is already on. -.-

And many a time have I placed peanut butter in the fridge and jelly in the cupboard.

And, of course, employees at the commissary (military grocery store) comment on how often I come there. Forgotten items. >.>

You know youre ADD

When you find a book you are totally interested in reading, read them half way or more and don't finish it. YET you have proceeded to have 5 more books like it sitting around your house.
